INSULATION OPTIMISATION

Insulation Optimisation

Not all insulation upgrades are equal. Work with us to discover where best to spend your budget and make a real impact.

The intelligent way to approach any building design project is to focus initially on what improvements can be made to the fabric. This can be challenging because not all parts of the building fabric are created equal. To spend limited project budgets wisely, it’s worth investigating what improvements make the greatest impact. 

We can help you prioritise improvements using our in-house software to better understand the relative cost benefits. Where practical, the team will determine insulation levels in every facet of the building, including walls, roofing, and flooring, as well as potential window upgrades, to compare capital costs against running cost savings. 

Before you start thinking about technology, this really is the best place to start to make the greatest energy savings on the project.

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.

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.
