Last year we supported Wheatley Group and CCG (Scotland) Ltd in the delivery of 48 new affordable homes in Milton, Glasgow. This was our first project to benefit from an innovative, fifth-generation heat network. This low carbon housing development features an innovative ground-source heat pump system by Kensa, which utilises a shared ambient loop. External boreholes within the ground are linked to individual water-to-water heat pumps within each flat to provide space heating and domestic hot water to residents, ensuring the development is future proofed with a zero direct emissions heating system.
Other key highlights include:
Enhanced fabric performance
Mechanical Extract Ventilation
Zero Direct Emissions Heating System
Achieves Gold Hybrid under Glasgow City Council’s SG5 Resource
Management Planning Policy (Aspect Gold Level 1 & Aspect Silver Level 2-8 under Section 7 (Sustainability) of the Building Standards
Achieves a 40%+ reduction in carbon emission via Low & Zero Carbon Generating Technology (LZCGT)
