Clydebank East, Clydebank

Clydebank East is West Dunbartonshire Council’s first operational net zero carbon housing development.

Located just off Glasgow Road, the innovative project forms part of a wider programme of affordable housing delivery led by Main Contractor CCG (Scotland) on behalf of the Council across the regional area and comprises 88 two, three, and four-bedroom homes for social rent.

Arc-Tech MU is supporting the project’s delivery with a dual, fuel utilities package. As a means of achieving operational net zero carbon, Clydebank East is entirely free of gas and polluting heating systems and will instead utilise air-source heat pumps for each of the 42 low-rise housing blocks and a communal air-source heat pump district heating system for a block of 46 apartments.

Our dual-fuel utilities package includes:
