To focus our analysis on social housing we decided to create some case studies on typical Glasgow Housing Association dwellings. Please click on the links below to go directly to each case study.
Glasgow Housing Association
GHA owns around 60,000 homes in Glasgow City Council. 65% of GHA stock is tenement buildings – where the households are grouped together in factors of 8 per staircase. After tenement blocks, the second most numerous household are the “high-rise” buildings representing around 20% of total stock.
Fundamental to our analysis is modelling the number of people per household. The pie-chart shows spread of number of people per household in all of GHA dwellings. The average number per household is 1.5, and we assumed on average a small size of flat of 65m2. REF: Glasgow Housing Association www.gha.org.uk
