Scottish Government Funding Clarified for Croftamie Housing Development
Scottish Government funding for the Croftamie development by Rural Stirling Housing Association (RSHA) includes provisions for air source heat pumps (ASHP). Clarification is sought on the installer certification requirements under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).

Funding from the Scottish Government's More Homes Division for the Croftamie development includes costs for installing air source heat pumps as part of the overall project expenses. There is an inquiry regarding whether ASHP installations must be conducted by MCS-certified installers.
Compliance with the Scottish building standards mandates energy-efficient heating systems that can be optimized for performance. Additionally, registered social landlords must consult tenants regarding any proposed rent increases, as outlined in the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001, with adherence to the Scottish Social Housing Charter being monitored by the Scottish Housing Regulator. The clarity on installer certification may impact future housing projects and compliance costs.
