"Electric wallpaper is being trialled in 12 tenement properties in Glasgow owned and managed by West of Scotland Housing Association, to assess its effectiveness as a clean heat source... Tenants have reported excellent feedback in the months since it was installed."
"Scottish homes are among the oldest and worst insulated in Europe, with about 70,000 tenement flats in Glasgow alone, and heating accounts for more than 36% of total carbon emissions in the UK."
"The average home loses heat three times faster than in many European countries. Electric wallpaper, which is applied to the ceiling and is painted over, is hoped to become a viable replacement for central heating."
"A project led by academics working with the West of Scotland Housing Association and Glasgow City Council... is being tipped as a potential eco-friendly replacement for gas."
