Scotland Trials Electric Wallpaper to Warm World’s “Oldest Homes”

By replacing gas boilers with electric wallpaper, Scottish universities, the Glasgow City Council, and the West of Scotland Housing Association are collaborating to heat the world's oldest homes in Scotland!

Electric wallpaper is piloted in 12 tenement properties or apartment buildings with multiple rooms in Glasgow. The electric wallpaper’s effectiveness is being tested as a clean heat source. 

They are using the technology covering Internet of Things and AI data analytics to collect information on efficiency, comfort, and tenant feedback.  

 

Electric wallpaper is a thin surface with strips of copper and graphene that emits infrared radiation, which can warm a house without releasing any emissions.
