SFHA Director of External Affairs, Carolyn Lochhead comments on yesterday's announcement by the Scottish Government to introduce a ‘Scottish equivalent’ of the Passivhaus standard for all new-build homes in Scotland

Modular development inspires interest in construction for four-year-old who declares project complete.
By Cassandra Dove, SFHA Research and Policy Lead.
The homes will be built to Passivhaus standard and will be low carbon by utilising air source heat pump technology which reduces the building’s carbon footprint and contributes towards the Scottish Government’s target for emissions from heating buildings to reach net zero by 2045.
The low carbon development will use less energy than conventional homes through green measures including air source heat pumps.
