At Compliant Retrofits, we help property developers understand retrofit requirements, plan energy-efficiency improvements and coordinate compliance across their projects. Our support covers PAS 2035 guidance, ECO4 funding, EPC improvement planning and whole-house retrofit strategies.
Whether you are managing a residential development, affordable housing project or an existing property portfolio, our approach helps you identify suitable measures and build energy performance into your development strategy.
Energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important consideration for property developers. New and existing developments need to meet applicable energy-efficiency requirements, while expectations around EPC performance continue to increase. Developers need to consider:
Planning compliance from the beginning can help developers avoid expensive remedial work later and create properties that are more attractive to buyers, tenants and housing providers — future-proofing developments as EPC expectations become stricter and energy-conscious buyers and tenants look for efficient properties.

Property Developer Retrofit Compliance involves ensuring that applicable energy-efficiency and retrofit projects are properly assessed, designed, installed and verified in line with relevant requirements.
For existing buildings, PAS 2035 can provide a structured framework for managing retrofit projects — understanding the condition of a property, developing an appropriate retrofit design, monitoring installation and verifying the completed improvements.
A compliant approach can help developers coordinate multiple measures rather than treating insulation, heating, ventilation and renewable technologies as separate projects.
We provide support throughout the retrofit process, helping developers create a structured approach to energy improvements. For applicable existing-building retrofit projects, we can help you understand and apply the PAS 2035 framework across four key stages:
Understanding the condition of the property before improvements are specified.
Developing an appropriate, whole-house retrofit design for the development.
Monitoring works so measures are installed correctly and consistently.
Verifying the completed improvements against the intended outcome.
This structured approach helps ensure retrofit decisions are based on the property’s condition and that improvements work together as part of a whole-house strategy.
Energy performance is rarely improved through a single measure. A whole-house approach considers how different components of a building interact. Depending on the property, potential measures can include:
Coordinating insulation, low-carbon heating, solar and battery storage, and ventilation as one strategy helps deliver reliable, lasting energy-performance improvements.
EPC performance is an important consideration when developing or upgrading properties. An effective retrofit strategy should consider the property’s current EPC position and the improvements required to achieve the desired energy-performance outcome. Our support can include:
This allows developers to understand the potential impact of retrofit measures and assess whether completed work has delivered the intended improvement.
Funding opportunities may be available for certain property and affordable housing developments, subject to scheme-specific eligibility requirements.
May provide funding for eligible affordable housing developments where tenant and property criteria are met. Potentially supported measures include insulation, heating upgrades and solar panels.
Identified as a potential funding route for residential properties towards heat pump installation, with no income criteria identified in the supplied content.
A funding opportunity for affordable housing providers. PAS 2035 compliance is required.
Eligibility and funding levels depend on the applicable scheme requirements. Always confirm current scheme rules, funding availability and eligibility before making financial or compliance decisions.
Certification and quality standards can be important when delivering funded retrofit work. We can provide guidance around TrustMark registration and MCS certification, helping developers understand the requirements relevant to their projects — supporting consumer confidence and demonstrating that appropriate standards have been considered.
Developers may also need to consider energy-efficiency requirements associated with affordable housing and Section 106 agreements. We can support you in understanding and addressing those requirements, helping ensure retrofit and energy-performance considerations are incorporated into the wider development strategy.
Energy-efficient properties can provide advantages beyond regulatory compliance. Modern buyers and tenants are increasingly interested in properties that offer better energy performance and lower running costs, so incorporating energy-efficiency measures can contribute to the market appeal of a development.
Choosing the right retrofit support can make it easier to manage energy-efficiency requirements across a development. Compliant Retrofits provides:
Our aim is to help property developers create practical, compliant and energy-efficient development strategies while reducing the risk of avoidable issues later in the project.
Compliant Retrofits can assess your development requirements and help create a practical strategy covering retrofit compliance, EPC improvement, funding opportunities and whole-house energy-efficiency measures.
