We are seeking
approval to undertake a pilot project at Philpot Square to upgrade
the building fabric and the communal heating from gas to air source
heat pump (electric). We seek to use the Procurement for Housing
Framework (Lot 4- Renewables) to appoint a capable supplier.
The works will increase energy efficiency, reduce energy bills and
retrofit Philpot Square to become one of H&Fs first ‘net
zero ready’ blocks.
Residents will also be given full control over how they heat their
properties and individual billing will be enabled to ensure
subsequent costs are charged fairly.
The total cost of the project will be circa £4.2million. Up
to £1million of grant funding is also being applied for to
support this cost.
