FOI-22 | Request for Environmental Information on Low-Carbon Heating Installations
To Whom it may concern,
I am writing to formally request information under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EIRs). As part of my PhD research into household decarbonisation and the adoption of sustainable heating technologies, I am seeking information on low-carbon heating solutions implemented in your housing stock.
Specifically, I would appreciate details regarding:
1. The types of low-carbon heating systems installed in properties managed by your housing association (e.g., heat pumps, solar panels, district heating systems, etc.).
2. The number of properties where such technologies have been deployed.
3. Which properties are currently installed with which low carbon heating systems (e.g. address with type of heating system)
I believe this information is covered under the EIRs as it pertains to measures affecting or likely to affect elements of the environment, including energy efficiency and carbon emissions.
If possible, I kindly request that the information be provided in an electronic format (e.g., spreadsheets or reports) and within the timeframe outlined under the EIRs. Should any of the requested information be exempt or unavailable, I would appreciate an explanation in line with the requirements of the regulations.
If there are costs associated with processing this request, please inform me in advance. I am happy to provide further details about my research if required and would welcome any additional context or documentation you can share regarding your decarbonisation efforts.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response!
Kind regards,
Rosemary Sida

FOI-17 | Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC)
I am a journalist at BBC Scotland working on coverage around safety concerns over Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and its lifespan.
Although much of the coverage has focused on public buildings, previous reports in Inside Housing have pointed to the use of the material in social housing built in the 1960s and 1970s.

2. Does the HA intend to carry further inspections on its properties to ascertain how many have RAAC?
3. Has remedial work been carried out, or is scheduled to be carried out, as a result of RAAC being detected? If so, how many properties are affected?
