Heat in buildings - multiple ownership mixed use buildings: energy retrofit possibilities
Scotland has many buildings which have multiple owners and mixed uses. This report categorises those buildings further and identifies potential solutions to decarbonise their heat supply and improve energy efficiency, in line with the heat in buildings strategy.
