Energy case studies
This booklet includes a collection of five case studies which explain how South Seeds has helped residents save energy or sort out energy bills. We were able to deliver this work to save energy and save carbon through funding from the Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge fund.
Improving Victorian tenement windows
This report tells the story of Raymond, Maria, Rashia and Sylvia who all received either double or secondary glazing through a one off South Seeds project. There are also top tips for improving your windows.
Finding out what residents think
South Seeds successfully applied to the Climate Challenge Fund for a development grant to conduct some consultation with local residents on waste and transport issues. We did street surveys, consultation workshops and monitored local social media groups. Our six page report explains how we consulted and what residents told us.

South Seeds Renewable Heat Study
We have investigated and published a number of options for developing district heating systems on the Southside of Glasgow, using energy from waste and geothermal sources or combined heat and power.
Geothermal potential under the Southside
The British Geological Survey examined the geothermal potential as part of South Seeds investigation into renewable heat options.
