Perth & Kinross Council
Perth High Rise
Perth & Kinross Council sought a suitably qualified and experienced partner for assessment, surveying, co-ordination, installation, evaluation and Retrofit project management of six blocks of multi-storey flats located within Perth City Centre.
With Scotland’s ambitious net zero targets, our role was to conduct a thorough feasibility assessing EnerPhit, Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB) Carbonlite and Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH2) performance standards. A phased approach was adopted in assessing the blocks and in preparation of the study. The minimum standard to be achieve was to attain EESSH2 with an EPC band B, therefore positioning the blocks on the net zero timeline. This was presented with a full option appraisal consisting of three construction cost analyses for each of the standards to be attained. Due to economic factors, the decision was made to proceed on an EESSH2 basis, which will involve the installation of several energy-efficient measures. This will reduce heat demand, lower carbon emissions, and improve living conditions.
The project will roll out in phases across six blocks, with work beginning in spring 2025 and continuing over three years.
