Social housing: net zero progress report - quarter 2 2024
Quarter 2 2024 progress reports on the social housing net zero heat fund.
Project Title: Installation of High Heat Retention Storage Heaters, Solar Panels and Battery Storage to Cliffview Court Arbroath and St Drostans Court Brechin
Project Organisation: Angus Council
Technology Type(s): HHRSH, Solar PV and Battery Storage
Location(s): Arbroath and Brechin, Angus Council
Grant Value: £212,326
Completion Date: November 2022
Project Headline: Installation of clean heating and microgeneration to 26 homes in Arbroath and Brechin
Project Description:
The properties were a mix of end and mid terraced bungalows in supported accommodation and were previously heated by inefficient electric storage heaters. The measures installed in this project included new high heat retention storage heaters, solar PV and battery storage to all properties.
The installation of new HHRSHs allowed for more control and usability of the technology for tenants. The upgraded heaters had smart controls that allowed for more accurate calculation of energy bills, and highly insulated cores which allowed heat to be released when required, thus saving energy and reducing energy bills.
By installing the upgraded heaters alongside solar PV and battery storage, this project ensured reductions in carbon emissions and reduction in fuel bills for the tenants, transforming these properties into zero carbon homes.
