Muirhead House, University of Stirling

The refurbishment of Muirhead House has been completed! This project enhances the quality of student accommodation at the University of Stirling, ensuring students benefit from the significant improvements made to the building to modernise and boost energy efficiency and for students to enjoy comfortable and secure spaces to live, learn and call home.

This project was supported by a loan from the Scottish Funding Council’s Route to Net Zero Carbon programme and is part of the University’s goals of achieving net zero by 2040. As part of the University’s strategy for thermal improvement, the proposals consist of replacement double-glazed windows, an insulated warm roof system and cavity wall insulation. In addition, low rise, roof mounted array photovoltaics offset electrical costs together with replacement ventilation plant equipment on the roof.
