Project Headline: Fabric First retrofit of 37 listed pre-1919 sandstone tenements in Glasgow

Project Description:

This project will provide fabric first energy efficiency measures to 37 pre 1919 sandstone tenements in Yorkhill, Glasgow. All of the properties in this project are listed: 24 are B-listed and 13 are C-listed.

Each property will receive timber framed double glazed windows which will comply with Glasgow City Council's planning permission conditions which took Yorkhill Housing Association 8 years to achieve. Window upgrades will retain the traditional features of the listed buildings while reducing heat loss.

Loft insulation top-ups will be installed alongside draught proofing to internal and external doors to further minimise heat loss.

The installation of these measures will save tenants on energy bills, alleviating fuel poverty and providing thermal comfort for tenants as the properties currently have single glazed windows due the planning restrictions.
