Three Net Zero Developments Announced As Scottish Home Awards 2025 Finalists

Three residential developments supported by an Arc-Tech-designed, zero-emissions district heating system are amongst a long list of finalists for this year’s Scottish Home Awards.

The Scottish Home Awards have entered their 18th year in 2025, and the ceremony is one of the largest independent gatherings for the housing industry in the country.

A total of ten developments supported by Arc-Tech (Scotland)’s M&E Services have made the coveted FINAL LIST, including some of Scotland’s most pioneering projects.

The 444-home Western Villages and 75-home Station View form part of the £1.3bn Granton Waterfront Regeneration. Located under 1 mile from each other in north Edinburgh, each project – constructed on behalf of The City of Edinburgh Council –  is designed to achieve operational net zero carbon and has adopted a purpose-built cASHP (combined Air-Source Heat Pump) System for space heating and hot water services.

The two developments have been nominated across three categories, and are joined by Clydebak East – a third project comprising 88 homes for West Dunbartonshire Council that has also been partly supported by a cASHP system designed and installed by Arc-Tech in partnership with Hawthorne Boyle. 

All projects that have reached the finals have also benefited from Arc-Tech’s solar PV panel system and sprinkler installation services, as well as EV charging solutions.

The full shortlist includes:

• Western Villages (The City of Edinburgh Council) – Social Housing Dev of the Year Over 100 Units; Housing Regeneration Project of the Year; Innovation in Design
