Get Living Glasgow

with Stallan-Brand

The Get Living Glasgow development is an exciting and large scale PRS project close to the Merchant City area of Glasgow, incorporating over 823 new build apartments and a 687-bed student residential building. The design intent conveys the social aspect of the developers culture, encouraging people to interact within a city living environment. The creation of key social spaces is as important as the creation of the apartments themselves.

A vital aspect of our work has been the creation of a low and zero carbon (LZC) technology plant strategy. Our approach is the application of de-centralised Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) technology to the residential blocks. This solution delivers a communal approach to sustainability; a solution which can generate and provide low carbon heat locally in each flat, building sustainability into the heart of the development.

Thermal performance of the building has been heavily assessed, with U-Values and air permeability at good practice standards, helping to insulate the building from the external environment.

Sustainability features high on the agenda for Get Living Glasgow as the developer not only recognises the opportunities that major development creates with respect to the economy and environment, but also the positive influence it can have on the day to day lives of people.

It is for this reason that high standards of sustainable design are targeted for the development, with Section 7 Silver Active sustainability certification targeted for each dwelling. To achieve this level of certification, the development will address the following sustainability aspects:

• Energy performance & CO2 emissions
• Health & welling
• Water efficiency
• Adaptable & flexible design
