Decarbonising social housing in Glasgow

Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, has a population of approximately 635,000 residents and covers 175 km². The city has a mix of historic and modern infrastructure, 9% (29,000) of its 330,000 homes rely on electric storage heating. As part of its mission to net-zero, Glasgow has prioritised housing decarbonisation and energy efficiency. An important intervention in this effort has been the Connected Response system, an innovative heating retrofit that reduces costs for tenants while cutting carbon emissions. The project offers an affordable, scalable, and data-driven solution that other cities can learn from.
