Social housing: net zero progress report - quarter 2 2024

Project Title: ACHA Social Housing External Fabric Programme

Project Organisation: Argyll Community Housing Association

Technology Type(s): EWI

Location(s): Multiple Locations across Argyll and Bute Council - Bute, Cowal, Dunoon, Islay and Tiree

Grant Value: £1,092,750

Completion Date: April 2024

Project Headline: Project installed insulation measures, primarily external wall insulation (EWI) into 141 social rented properties across Argyll and Bute

Project Description:

The main bulk of these 141 properties are in Dunoon and included various archetypes including post war late 1950s dwellings. Other properties benefitting from these measures were located across Cowal and Bute and included properties on the islands of Islay and Tiree.

These properties had already received ASHPs in previous packages of works and the installation of EWI would therefore maximise the benefits of these systems and ensure heat is not lost through the fabric of the buildings.

This project intended to alleviate fuel poverty and deliver continued energy efficiency works to help tenants who are the most in need.
