-current assessment methodologies that could be used to underpin HEETSA and how potential gaps in the market could be filled;
-the skills, qualifications, and accreditation processes that would be needed to ensure that assessors were able to offer detailed advice to building owners on technical suitability of heat and energy efficiency retrofit measures;

-detailed costed options for the delivery of the above.
