The Scottish housing quality standard (SHQS) aims to ensure that all affordable housing in Scotland meets standards of decency by 2015.
This guide focuses on how housing providers can maximise the energy efficiency opportunities of meeting the SHQS and minimise costs in the long term.
The guide explains:
- The energy efficiency related requirements of the SHQS
- How to assess the compliance of individual homes with those requirements
- How to assess the stock-level implications, including costs, of meeting the energy efficiency requirements of the SHQS
- How to identify opportunities to improve the overall energy efficiency of your housing stock when making improvements to meet the standard
- The importance of adopting a strategic approach to energy efficiency.
