The Scottish Executive's Central Heating Programme and the Warm Deal Annual Report 2003-04: BENEFITS FROM HOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY SCHEMES IN SCOTLAND 2003-04: A REPORT BY THE SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE
Characteristics of properties improved by Eaga
The key characteristics of properties benefiting from the Warm Deal were gathered by Eaga: no data are available for properties improved by local authorities. Figure 17 shows the approximate period of construction of properties improved by Eaga. As with the Central Heating Programme, properties constructed between 1950 and 1963 are the most commonly occurring (34%). Similarly, there are proportionately fewer properties of more recent construction.

Figure 18 shows the built form of properties improved by Eaga. As with the Central Heating Programme, flats form the biggest single type of property. Comparing built form against tenure shows significant differences between private-sector properties (owner-occupied and privately rented) and public sector properties (housing association and local authority), as well as between individual tenure categories. Over half (51%) of the public sector properties improved were flats or maisonettes, compared with just over a quarter (27%) of private-sector properties, while less than 1% of public-sector properties were detached houses, compared with 11% of private-sector ones.
