Reduced energy demand and lower annual fuel bills

The Scholars comprises some of the most energy-efficient, low-energy homes currently available in the Scottish property market.

CCG Homes is committed to building homes that are stylish in their design and are offered with a leading standard of specification, but in an era of fuel cost inflation, it is also imperative to offer homes that have strong energy performance characteristics.

How do we achieve enhanced energy performance?

CCG Homes is a member of the CCG Group, one of Scotland’s leading construction and manufacturing groups.

The business is recognised as a pioneer in offsite construction methods, whereby entire wall zones, each super-insulated, are manufactured and assembled in a technologically advanced, semi-automated factory setting rather than the construction site. This process not only improves quality, but due to its inherent efficiency, it allows us to greatly improve the airtightness and thermal comfort of the home, resulting in the minimisation of heat loss and a reduction in energy use…

What does it mean for you?

By choosing a home at The Scholars, you will enjoy the following benefits:

• Your home will stay warmer for longer, thanks to the enhanced building fabric and the high-performance windows and doors.
• You will save money on your annual energy bills, as your home will require less heating and cooling, and will be equipped with energy-efficient appliances and lighting. Integrated solar PV panels will also help to lower energy costs associated with the day-to-day use of heating and appliances.
• You will reduce your environmental impact, as your home will have a lower carbon footprint and contribute to the national targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

How does the energy performance of your property compare to the national average in Scotland? Well, our homes at The Scholars achieve an energy performance rating between 90 (Band B) and 92 (Band A) –  the average EPC rating across the country is a Band D (61), and If you own a period property, your energy performance may be lower still!
