Technology Type(s): Connected Response – Smart Storage Heater Controls

Location(s): Glasgow, Glasgow City

Grant Value: £6,162,500

Completion Date: March 2024

Project Headline: Energy efficiency measures fitted to over 5,000 homes across Glasgow

Project Description:

The project's aim was to install fabric first energy efficiency measures to 5,800 socially rented properties across Glasgow. The energy efficiency technology used in the project was Connected Response. The Connected Response units are designed to improve the performance and control of electric storage space and water heating for households. The system provides ‘demand side management’ control of storage through programmable timing, internal dwelling temperature sensor and forecast weather compensation; to avoid energy waste, improve household comfort, reduce carbon and mitigate costs.

The project reduced energy consumption and fuel bills for tenants as well as increased user controllability and thermal comfort of their home.
