Project Headline: Project delivered insulation upgrades as part of a whole house retrofit to 50 properties in the Danderhall area

Project Description:

Properties selected for this phase of the project received EWI, CWI or IWI depending on the property archetype and existing insulation measures in place. Properties also received other measures not funded by this grant including roof insulation and high efficiency windows and doors, depending on the property itself.

This whole house retrofit delivery approach was designed to ensure a wide range of measures were implemented alongside each other to reduce the home energy consumption and to improve the fabric of the home before future clean heating solutions. Now that the fabric of the building has been addressed, it has readied these properties for the potential connection to a future clean heating system, such as a district heating network.

This is Phase 1 of a two-part projects, Phase 2 was awarded in financial year 24/25.
