Family support
Advanced renewable energy solutions are among a range of building services installed by Arc-Tech (Scotland) that are supporting families across West Dunbartonshire.
Recent completions in West Dunbartonshire highlight the extent of the firm’s in-house capabilities, with a variety of services contributing to the delivery of some of the most energy efficient homes in the country. Clydebank East is West Dunbartonshire Council’s largest ‘Net Zero ready’ development, consisting of 88 homes in a mix of houses and flats for social rent.
Arc-Tech’s in-house divisions were deployed across the project, with a purpose-built zero-emissions district heating system installed to serve the flatted block alongside solar PV panels and sprinkler systems.
The heating system – comprising two industrial scale air source heat pumps and two water-to-water heat pumps – delivers space heating and hot water from a centralised source rather than individual water cylinders in each property. The system was designed in partnership with Hawthorne Boyle and is one of three to have been installed across the country in the last 18 months.
