The Nationwide Windows (NWD) team has completed a pilot property installation that adheres to the updated PAS2030 specification. Sponsored by the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the revised standard aims to ensure the installation of improved energy efficiency measures in existing dwellings as well as insulation in residential park homes.
The primary objective of PAS2030 is the provision of robust, uniformly applicable energy efficient measures, and to assist installers that comply with its requirements in full, to demonstrate that their installation processes are capable of providing installation to specification and in accordance with the client’s expectations.
“We had already been certified to the previous PAS2030 standard that was linked to the Green Deal,” explained Chris Costall, NWD’s compliance director, “however the fundings model for that initiative did not work for fenestration at the time.
“Kev Caveney, our director of commercial sales, and myself saw the importance and potential of the revised standard very early on. We became certified early in 2022 and completed our first pilot PAS2030 property installation in April.
“We’ve now started the main phase of works, with multiple energy efficiency measures being installed as part of the scheme, including external wall insulation.
“We are also assisting multiple existing and new clients with our in-depth knowledge of the PAS2030 standard, and working with them on projects from conception to design and delivery.
“By being PAS2030-accredited, clients have the peace of mind that they are working with a contractor that is certified and competent.” He added that the accreditation also satisfies clients that require a turnkey solution that is dictated by government funding streams.
