Scottish Green Energy Awards goes to Changeworks' Top of Tenements Project
Changeworks’ Top of Tenements Project recently won the Best Environmental Initiative category in the Scottish Green Energy Awards.
The awards highlight the achievements of those who have made a significant difference to Scotland’s green energy production.
The Top of Tenements Project installed heat recovery ventilation, solar water heating and loft insulation in seven top floor flats in pre-1919 stone built tenements in Edinburgh. The participating households saw their energy use for space heating and hot water cut by half.

Robert Barnham, from the Warmburgh Unit at Changeworks, said: “We’re delighted with the recognition of this partnership working between Changeworks, the Council’s building control and planning officers and the project funders – the Energy Saving Trust. It is a real success story in the use of green energy in hard-to-treat properties.”
