Mesh Energy: Who They Are and What They Do
Mesh Energy is an independent provider specializing in net zero carbon building performance and engineering services. Their expertise spans architects, developers, and building owners across commercial, residential, and public sectors. Focused on creating sustainable built environments, they bring together renewable energy technology, building fabric optimisation, and energy consultancy to deliver green energy services that truly make a difference.
The Main Benefit: Driving Carbon Savings and Sustainable Solutions
Mesh Energy’s projects showcase impressive achievements and innovative approaches, including:
- Achieving a 93% carbon saving through design changes on the Hope Street residential project.
- Developing energy strategies aligned with Jersey’s carbon neutrality goal by 2030 for the Millbrook House Hotel.
- Conducting heat loss modelling and fabric optimisation on a 19th-century listed building at Rugby School.
- Creating pre-planning feasibility reports for unique homes under Paragraph 79 and Paragraph 80 applications.
- Providing energy audits and sustainable design recommendations across diverse building types.
Innovative Projects with a Purpose
Each project Mesh Energy takes on tells a story of innovation and commitment. Take the Paragraph 79 Home in Cambridge, for example. This isn’t just any home—it’s an agriculturally based, multi-generational dwelling with several wings and a communal living space at its heart. Mesh Energy’s role? Delivering a site-wide pre-planning feasibility report to pinpoint the best energy strategy. It’s about blending tradition with cutting-edge sustainability.
Creating Positive Social Impact Through Design
Hope Street stands out as a pioneering project aimed at providing a supportive residential environment for justice-involved women. The design changes implemented here led to a remarkable 93% reduction in carbon emissions during the project’s first stage. This isn’t just about buildings; it’s about creating spaces that foster positive change and community wellbeing.
Revitalizing Spaces with Sustainable Energy Solutions
From derelict clubhouses to high-end hotels, Mesh Energy’s expertise breathes new life into buildings. The Canoe Lake Leisure Tennis Pavilion project transformed a vandalized, asbestos-ridden clubhouse into a vibrant public facility, supported by a thorough feasibility study exploring various energy options. Meanwhile, the Millbrook House Hotel in Jersey benefits from a tailored energy strategy and audit, ensuring the development aligns with the island’s ambitious carbon neutrality targets.
