Drumchapel, Glasgow
Drumchapel Net-Zero Retrofit Programme
A total of 36 Canadian timber homes in Drumchapel (Glasgow), built in a non-traditional post-war style, the semi-detached homes have an external timber frame panel system, low levels of insulation and electric heating will benefit from a £1.5 million ‘deep retrofit’ programme.
New external wall insulation will help limit heat loss in the winter and prevent heat build-up in the summer.
The net-zero project will also make homes quieter through better sound proofing and will bring an estimated 87% reduction in energy consumption. It’s estimated there will be a reduction of annual carbon emissions of almost seven tonnes per home.
