Project Headline: Project involving energy efficiency insulation upgrades to 130 properties in Danderhall

Project Description:

119 properties will receive external wall insulation and cavity wall insulation, with internal wall insulation and cavity wall insulation installed to 11 properties. The majority of properties were built between 1950-1963 across a number of archetypes including bungalows, terraced housing, flats and 4-in-a-block.

Energy efficiency will be improved in the properties to reduce energy demand in the homes and futureproof homes to be fit for the transition from mains gas to low-carbon heating systems, principally through the planned extension of Shawfair district heating network.

This project is Phase 2 of a project funded in financial year 2023/24, with successful completion in June 2024.
