Project Description:

This project installed clean heating and microgeneration to 466 homes across multiple locations including Dundee, Arbroath, Newburgh, Crieff, Alyth and Blackford. The archetypes of the properties varied among different sizes of flats and houses. All properties received new Quantum HRRSH and where suitable, and solar PV was also installed.

The new measures allowed the tenants more control and flexibility over their heating, and reduced fuel bills and increased thermal comfort. It is anticipated that tenants will save on average £430 per year.
