Project Headline: This project involved installing Cavity Wall Insulation (CWI) across 397 properties in various locations across Dumfries and Galloway

Project Description:

The project involved installing CWI to 397 properties with a range of current heating sources. The installation of measures led to reductions on tenant’s fuel bills. The project was designed to ensure those most likely to be in or at risk of fuel poverty and living in properties that are the least energy efficient were included. The tenant group comprises vulnerable and elderly individuals within rural and remote areas and were located within areas with high levels of deprivation.

The program formed Phase 1 of a longer term program designed to improve the fabric of Dumfries and Galloway Housing Partnership’s housing stock and ready the properties for future clean heating solutions.
