Renfrewshire is set to host a new £14 million affordable housing scheme by Sanctuary Scotland, signalling a notable move in sustainable construction. The 56-home development in Braehead, due to commence in March 2026, is expected to demonstrate best practice in sustainable building design and low carbon construction materials. Through early integration of whole life carbon assessment and embodied carbon evaluation, such housing projects are redefining how environmental sustainability in construction is measured. The emphasis on low carbon design and energy-efficient buildings highlights the growing need for lifecycle assessment methods to achieve net zero whole life carbon performance and reduce the carbon footprint of construction across all project stages.
