Project Headline: Whole house retrofit pilot scheme in Arbroath brings 23 homes out of fuel poverty
Project Description:
This project will take a whole house retrofit approach to 23 mid and end terraced houses in Arbroath, Angus. The properties are of solid wall construction and currently have gas central heating. The project is a proof-of-concept pilot scheme to further the Net Zero plans of the Housing Association and will utilise the PAS2035 framework and standard.
Every property will receive clean heating in the form of ASHP heating system with radiators and hot water cylinders, and microgeneration in the form of solar PV and battery storage. Additionally, energy efficiency measures will be utilised to maximise the cost savings to tenants, including EWI, double glazing and new external doors.
The homes in the project were chosen for this pilot scheme as they are in one of the most deprived areas of Scotland. It will save tenants an estimated £1000 per year on fuel bills. The project will also bring the properties from an EPC C to B.
