Retrofit funding · PAS 2035 · Level 5 Retrofit Coordination · London & South East

Win the funding. Then spend it clawback-proof.

Most retrofit programmes do not fail on ambition, they fail on evidence. NanoXEnergy turns your stock data, EPC records, board approvals and resident need into an eligibility case a funder can score highly, then coordinates the delivery that keeps the money safe. Warm Homes, ECO4, PSDS and borough climate funds, engineer-led from first bid to final TrustMark lodgement.

What we do

Six services. Funding first. One point of accountability.

Funding is where retrofit programmes are won or lost, so that is where we start. From the eligibility case through to final lodgement, we cover the full retrofit lifecycle, so nothing falls between consultants, and nothing puts your grant at risk.

Retrofit funding: eligible is not the same as fundable

Funders do not reject applications because the retrofit was a bad idea. They reject them because an EPC record was out of date, because co-funding was not formally approved, because a claim in the narrative had no named document behind it. Eligibility only means you may apply. Winning is a separate exercise, and it is an evidence exercise.

We test your programme rule by rule against the official scheme guidance, classify every requirement as pass, pass with action or human review, and tie each one to a named document in an evidence register. What comes back is not an opinion, it is a list: the gaps, the risks, and the order to fix them in before you submit.

The value: on a multi-million-pound bid, finding one missing approval or one stale EPC batch before submission is worth many times the cost of the review.

What a funding review covers

  • Eligible applicant, tenure and property boundary
  • Starting EPC evidence and certificate currency
  • Minimum scale and performance-outcome modelling
  • Eligible measures tied to survey evidence
  • Co-funding approval and cash-flow profiling
  • PAS 2035 roles, TrustMark route and quality plan
  • Procurement route and price validation
  • Resident protection and vulnerable-household support
Featured case study

PAS 2035 quality review: 270 traditional homes, North Wales

External wall insulation on solid-wall housing in Exposure Zone 4 (very severe) is one of the highest-risk retrofit measures in the UK. Across a 270-property scheme, recurring defects were putting performance, durability and compliance at risk: render discolouration, thermal bridging, cold spots around openings, and water-ingress pathways at sills and flashings.

We carried out a systematic defect review across the portfolio, benchmarked every failure class against INCA best practice and the system designer's installation requirements, and traced consequences through to resident impact: heat loss, condensation risk and mould.

The value: on a 270-home scheme, preventing even a small percentage of installations from needing remedial work saves multiples of the coordination fee, and protects the guarantee, the funding compliance and the residents.

From our good-practice playbook

  • 40 mm minimum sill overhangs with drip details
  • Starter track at DPC, 150 mm above ground
  • L-shaped boards at openings, no edge under 150 mm
  • Mineral-wool slithers in all board gaps
  • 100 mm minimum mesh laps in the basecoat
  • Correct two-coat silicone finish application

How we work

The PAS 2035 pathway, disciplined, standards-based, every time

For domestic retrofit this maps directly onto PAS 2035; for non-domestic sites we apply the same rigour through the survey-to-delivery methodology proven on the LASER ZCF programme.

1

Intended outcomes & risk assessment

Clear objectives, risk pathway and scope. Funding fit confirmed early.

2

Whole-building assessment

Condition, occupancy, ventilation and heritage constraints captured; metered data analysed.

3

Heat-loss modelling & options appraisal

Costed, ranked measures with kWh, £, tCO₂e, payback and £/tCO₂e.

4

Medium-term improvement plan

Correctly sequenced fabric-first roadmap: no lock-in, no unintended consequences.

5

Design coordination & specification

Details benchmarked against system-designer and INCA guidance.

6

Installation oversight

Site inspections, toolbox talks, mid-install checks, defect prevention.

7

Handover, monitoring & lodgement

TrustMark lodgement, monitoring plan, resident guidance and evaluation.

About

Engineer-led coordination, grounded in what we've seen built

Nanox Energy is led by Abd Alrahman, a Level 5 Retrofit Coordinator with a mechanical engineering background and energy & decarbonisation auditing expertise.

Every measure we recommend is grounded in what we have surveyed, calculated, specified and seen built, from investment-grade decarbonisation reports for a London borough to portfolio-scale defect analysis in one of the UK's most demanding exposure zones.

Level 5 Diploma in Retrofit Coordination and Risk Management, the qualification required to act as named Coordinator on funded schemes.
