An evaluation of renewable and zero direct emissions heating systems in affordable housing projects (phase 2) by Scottish Government
An evaluation of the selection, installation and performance of zero direct emissions heating (ZDEH) systems installed in new affordable homes in Scotland.
The Scottish Government appointed Locogen to deliver the second phase of the evaluation of renewable and zero direct emissions heating systems in Scottish affordable housing projects.
The first phase of this work was conducted by Locogen in 2021 and helped to formulate the goals of Phase 2. The goals of this second phase of the evaluation are:
To collect actual (as opposed to estimated) performance data from Affordable Housing projects with zero direct emissions heating systems, including technology performance; operational costs; and occupant satisfaction.
To advise on the creation of a knowledge-sharing hub where information and best practice guidance can be accessed by stakeholders in the Scottish housing sector, to help them achieve compliance with the NBHS.
To develop case studies of exemplar zero direct emissions heating in Scottish housing projects, providing insight on system performance, tenant experiences and network constraints.
