BUILDING PERFORMANCE

Building Performance

The built environment is responsible for 40% of the world’s carbon emissions. So naturally, it’s essential to consider tracking and improving your building’s performance, both for the sake of the planet and your budget. 

The process begins with building physics modelling, where we explore avenues for improving the building fabric and identify areas of weakness within the overall scheme. Once these areas have been improved, we begin to look at introducing a mix of ventilation solutions and renewable energy technologies to suit the project. 


Depending on our clients’ project aspirations, we can consider areas like embodied carbon, overheating, and daylighting, to ensure a fully holistic and future-proofed design. Mesh’s approach to centralised building modelling allows you to easily interrogate your project’s sustainability credentials.

Do you want to know how your building is performing once the project is complete?


We can also help with energy monitoring packages and feedback for post occupancy evaluation.

Doug’s Sustainable Construction Predictions for 2024

by Doug Johnson • 11 Jan, 2024
As we come out of our end of year hibernation period for 2023 and try to both digest and interpret what 2023 had in store for us, how we dealt with it, and what we would change if we could; we drag ourselves out into the blinding light of 2024 and hope for a less tumultuous year in the UK’s sustainable construction sector. I am an optimistic person and ‘glass half-full thinking’, as well as doing my best to gaze into the future, is my default position. When working with a team on the sharp end of sustainable building design, there are some trends which simply cannot be ignored and hold great promise for 2024. The following trends are in areas we’ve seen growing design time and client fees being spent to great effect, and that’s why these are my top four sustainable construction prediction of 2024.

Navigating the Growing Risks: 6 Sustainable Building Design Challenges in the Construction Sector

by Doug Johnson • 07 Dec, 2023
In recent years, sustainability has seen a massive increase in priority within the construction industry. As climate change and its effects worsen around the world, architects, builders, and developers are now feeling more compelled to adopt more environmentally friendly practices. While pursuing sustainable building design is definitely a commendable course of action, the process itself has its own set of challenges; introducing potential risks to the construction industry that must be addressed.

A delicate eco-system: creating and maintaining company culture

by Rebecca Boehme • 03 Aug, 2023
In May 2023, we discovered we’d been included in The Sunday Times’ ‘Best Places to Work in 2023’ list . This phenomenal achievement was the icing on the cake of what’s been a great few years for Mesh as an employer. From achieving our B Corp in November 2021, to being recognised in B Corp’s ‘Best in the World’ category for workers in March 2022, to growing the business to the 22-strong team it is today, it’s been both incredible to see our recognition grow, and a mammoth effort to get here.
