Calton Village is a new affordable housing development designed by Hypostyle Architects providing 254 homes for social and mid-market rent featuring a mix of 1–2 bedroom flats and 3-4 bedroom houses.

Transforming a previously vacant site in Glasgow’s East End, the development is a joint venture between Wheatley Group and McTaggart Construction, supported by Glasgow City Council’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme.

The first phase was completed in April 2025, with 123 high-quality energy-efficient homes handed over to delighted new residents. Construction of the second phase is now well underway and due to complete in 2026.

______  Our Scope

Carbon Futures, as Energy Consultant, were involved from inception through to completion, working alongside the design team to provide practical and affordable energy strategy advice for the project. This involved developing a detailed energy strategy to achieve compliance with Glasgow City Council’s SG5 Resource Management planning policy whilst facilitating the use of the proposed district heating system.

Additional services provided included provision of a Statement on Energy, Energy Strategy Analysis, SAP Calculations, Approved Certifier of Design (Energy), Thermal Bridge Calculations, U-value Calculation, Energy Performance Certificates & Sustainability Labels.

Calton Village is home to the largest district heating system in Glasgow, operated from a central hub to deliver energy-efficient heating and hot water to all dwelling within the development. The properties include a mix of decentralised & centralised mechanical extract ventilation (MEV) and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR). 

All blocks feature Solar PV linked to the landlord supply to offset carbon emissions and all plots benefit from wastewater heat recovery (WWHR) to facilitate compliance with Aspect Silver Level 3 (energy demand for water heating).
