Social Housing Net Zero Heat Fund Progress Reports Quarter 2, 2024


Project Title: 2023/24 Non Trad. Retrofit Pilot Project

Project Organisation: East Renfrewshire Council

Technology Type(s): CWI, EWI, Cold Roof Insulation

Location(s): Barrhead, East Renfrewshire Council

Grant Value: £218,060

Completion Date: March 2024

Project Headline: Pilot project undertaking Fabric First upgrades to 14 properties including a mix of end, semi and mid-terraced houses in the Barrhead area

Project Description:

This project included energy efficiency upgrades including a range of the following measures: cavity wall insulation, external wall insulation, cold roof insulation and other measures funded by the local authority themselves. These other measures included roof works, ventilation measures and solar PV and battery storage.

The works were carried out in accordance with BSI PAS 2030:2019 – Specification for the installation of efficiency measures in existing dwellings and PAS 2035:2019 – Retrofitting dwellings for improved energy efficiency.

The works have made these properties more energy efficient and will result in a reduction of energy consumption for the tenants. The insulation will minimise heat loss with solar PV and battery storage offsetting electricity consumption and carbon emissions. The project aimed to improve the properties’ EPC banding from EPC C and D to EPC band B.
