Queens Quay also claimed a SILVER award in the Regeneration category. The 146-home development forms part of the large-scale, mixed-use regeneration of the former John Brown Shipyard in Clydebank and was delivered by CCG (Scotland) on behalf of Loretto, a member of Wheatley Group; West Dunbartonshire Council and Clydebank Housing Association.

Arc-Tech was responsible for installing Heat Interface Units (HIUs) within each dwelling. The units transfer energy from a heating network to the individual home and provide heating and hot water services. In the case of Queens Quay, the district heating network is one of the UK's most innovative with an on-site energy centre, integrated with a combined Water Source Heat Pump (WSHP) System, used to power the Queens Quay masterplan as well as the wider township of Clydebank.
