Using the charter methodology for assessment of SHQS, the council is currently 84.65% compliant. We are statistcally one of the best performing Councils in Scotland.
The Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing (EESSH) is the energy efficiency rating for all social housing, which aims to encourage landlords to improve the energy efficiency of its housing stock. This is an enhancement of the previous Scottish Housing Quality.
As at April 2025 the council is 90.9% compliant with the EESSH standard. Good progress has been made with our window replacement and central heating programmes resulting in more EESSH compliant homes.
