Monitoring and evaluation resources round up, 2024
Introduction
It is essential to monitor homes before and after the retrofit works to understand how well they perform. There can be a significant gap between the design vision and the real-world results in terms of comfort, safety and energy performance.
If you are planning your next retrofit project, we have a range of resources available to help you make sure that monitoring is built in, right from the start.

Monitoring and evaluation toolkit
Monitoring and evaluation is required under PAS 2035, the standard that governs all retrofit programmes in the UK receiving public funding. Understanding how well your project has delivered the planned benefits is also good practice for any retrofit. This toolkit explains the purpose of monitoring and evaluation in a retrofit project and provides guidance on creating a plan for your project and access to additional resources.

Monitoring and evaluation overview
It is essential to monitor homes before and after the retrofit works to understand how well they perform. There can be a significant gap between the design vision and the real-world results in terms of comfort, safety and energy performance. This performance gap can result from poor design choices, incorrect installation, or the way that residents use their homes.
Monitoring and evaluation as evidence for retrofit
This article introduces the importance of the longer-term M&E findings needed to prove the effectiveness of retrofit.
