Whether you’re delivering PAS-compliant retrofit programmes or specifying fabric upgrades, this resource supports informed, whole-house design decisions on a complex and easily mishandled building element.
From March 2025, all Government-funded retrofit projects must comply with the updated PAS 2035:2023 standard. Our latest article breaks down the key changes and what they mean for your projects.
