Wheatley Group: Further reading
An research project being carried out by one of Scotland's biggest housing groups could transform the way social housing is built in the future and reduce energy bills.
Wheatley Group, in partnership with MAST Architects and CCG, are carrying out a Scottish-first trial at its new development in Easterhouse, Glasgow.
It has seen six new-build homes designed, constructed and insulated using different technology methods.
The energy consumption and efficiency of the six homes will be monitored for one year to see if they meet or exceed current Passivhaus standards.
The results and learning will help shape the new housing regulatory standards in Scotland.
