 A family from Fife is set to put one of Scotland’s greenest social housing experiments to the test as they move into their new home in Lochgelly. Their house at Lomond Homes’ New Farm Vale development is the focus of a three month pilot project, as it features cutting-edge ‘green’ insulation in its walls. The unique type of insulation is designed to save energy, cut carbon emissions, improve air quality and provide long-term cost savings for home owners.

 In total, three houses will be monitored at the site, for three months, using electronic devices to measure energy savings in relation to the prevailing weather conditions. Two of the houses have been fitted with ‘Dynamic Breathing Building’ technology with the third being fitted with conventional insulation.

 Kingdom developed the new houses for Ore Valley Housing Association who now own and manage the houses as part of a larger project at New Farm. Andrew Saunders, Director, with Ore Valley, said “The new homes have all been allocated to families and the potential of this new type of insulation is very exciting. If the results are what we expect, then the benefits to tenants will be significant.”
