Energy Strategy Planning

The logical first step to understanding aspirations, setting goals and designing a low energy building.

Energy strategy planning is the logical first step to designing a low energy building. Every project starts with detailed heat loss modelling to better understand opportunities to improve a building’s fabric, reduce ventilation losses, and work out the optimum application of low carbon technologies.

At Mesh, we know that every project is unique, and comes with specific goals and aspirations. We create tailored energy strategies in collaboration with you and your wider design team to ensure the best outcome for all stakeholders. 


We bring the energy strategy to life through virtual visualisations and 3D modelling to consider options for sizes, locations, positions, and brands, to minimise high level decision-making further along the process. 


This means our clients can make informed decisions, supported by the facts, clear costings, and our team’s expertise.
