For BSI, standards are a consensus of what good looks like.

Copyright © 2016 BSI. All rights reserved.

Standards are made by people for people.

BSI publishes 2,500 and withdraws over 1,000

standards per year, following the European

single standard model in the UK market.

This maintains a coherent, consistent body of

knowledge for industry, gov’t and the public.

BSI is a neutral facilitator for industry experts.

Scope of PAS 2038Specifies requirements for retrofitting non-domestic

properties for improved energy efficiency

• Defining non-domestic property

• Simple buildings: buildings of simple built form and construction,

including simple services (e.g. shop, office, school)

• Complex buildings: complex built form (e.g. multi-storey or

incorporating atria) and/or construction (e.g. steel- or concrete-framed

with cladding or curtain walling) including complex services (e.g. HVAC

systems) and controls (e.g. BEMS) and accommodating one or more

activities or organisations

• Creating a process for simple/complex building allocation
