Project Description:

The project installed fabric first energy efficiency measures, in the form of EWI, to 54 socially rented homes across 21 4-in-block, multi tenure flats across East Ayrshire. The housing association accessed funding from the Energy Agency to fund the owner-occupied properties, allowing the full building to benefit from the EWI installation.

The EPCs of the properties varied slightly between bands D and E. The aim of the project was to bring the EPC to bands B and C.

The project applied PAS 2025 measures to achieve thermal efficiency and reduce tenant’s heating bills significantly.
