This proposed project will see the creation of 152 affordable homes on Caledonia Road, Glasgow.

The mix of seven storey, four storey and two storey elements reflects the existing buildings in the area, including the Silverfir Court Tracoba blocks, the Maisonette blocks and the new build developments on Old Rutherglen Road and Oregon Street.

Developing blocks taller than four storeys facilitates the incorporation of lift access to upper floor flats, improving inclusive access. The two storey elements add to the number of back and front door houses in the area.

Carbon Futures is supporting this project through the provision of Planning Approval and Building Standards compliance services including; Energy Strategy Analysis, Statement on Energy and Daylight & Sunlight Analysis, Energy Compliance Report, SAP Calculations, Thermal Bridge Calculations.

Additional services include Approved Certifier of Design (Energy), Energy Performance Certificates and Sustainability Labels.

The project is designed to achieve compliance with Glasgow City Council’s Gold Hybrid criteria under SG5 Resource Management, which requires the project to achieve Aspect Platinum Level 1 (Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions) and Aspect Silver Level 2-8 under Section 7 (Sustainability) of the Building Standards.

It also requires the project to achieve a minimum 20% low & zero carbon generating technology abatement which is being achieved via enhanced fabric performance, mechanical extract ventilation, shared ambient loop communal heat pump system, wastewater heat recovery systems, and solar PV.
