Scotland has a legal commitment to become a net zero economy by 2045. In 2024, the Scottish Government took further steps towards this goal by introducing legislation prohibiting fossil fuel-powered heating systems in all new build homes. So, what does this mean for homebuyers at ‘The Sidings’?
While air-source heat pumps are now common in houses, they can be difficult to install in apartments due to space and ventilation requirements. To provide a more practical solution, CCG Homes has invested in exhaust air source heating – an innovative system ideally suited to contemporary apartment living.
It’s not new. Exhaust air heating has been in use since the 1970s, but recent advancements in heat pump technology have brought it firmly back and into the modern era, and with it, a solution that will require no upgrading as Scotland continues on its journey to net zero carbon.
Our NIBE-manufactured unit is installed within the property and works by extracting stale indoor air and transferring that energy into water. A built-in heat pump then boosts the temperature to provide both space heating and hot water. The system also delivers continuous ventilation and is Quiet Mark accredited for low noise levels.

Heat pump technology is only as good as the home in which it is installed. To really optimise the appliance, and avoid unnecessary wasteful usage, you need a thermally efficient home, and thankfully, at ‘The Sidings’, that is exactly what you will get.
As a member of the CCG (Scotland) Group, CCG Homes deploys some of the most advanced building and manufacturing methods in the UK. Much like automotive production, our homes are precision-built in semi-automated factory conditions, where components are assembled to exacting standards for consistent quality. The result is a highly energy-efficient, airtight home that stays warmer for longer, reduces heat loss and naturally lowers your reliance on heating – helping to cut both energy use and household bills.
