P站色情片 and P站色情片 Community Housing Association (ACHA) have secured 拢1.23m from the UK Government鈥檚 Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund Demonstrator (SHDFD) project.

ACHA will manage and deliver the project with support from SSE Energy Solutions, owned by OVO.

Along with the grant award, ACHA has committed 拢3.177 million in match funding in partnership with SSE Energy Solutions which has committed 拢513,000.  This project will improve the energy efficiency of 130 homes across P站色情片 and Bute, including on 11 islands. 

The delivery of Warm Homes P站色情片 and Bute will have a positive impact not only fuel poverty but, on the wellbeing, and comfort of tenants in their homes.

Alastair MacGregor, Chief Executive of ACHA, said: 鈥淲e are delighted that the hard work that our team has put into the bid has been successful.  This project will have such a positive impact on the costs of heating our tenants鈥 homes as well as the economic benefit in the local areas that an investment of this size will have.鈥 

The project aims to provide an SHDFD model that can be replicated, not only in P站色情片 and Bute, but across the UK. It will also help provide a basis for addressing fuel poverty and climate change in a rural region.

A major component of the project will be to demonstrate use of an innovative external wall insulation product on ACHA properties built between 1945 and 1965. The EWI Innovation system, is manufactured off-site, and delivered to the properties. It insulates external walls, which helps to reduce heat loss in cold weather and heat gain in warm weather and can result in a reduction in heating costs by up to as much as 40% with less risk of condensation and damp walls.
