COMMERCIAL PROJECT
Sustainability Strategy for New Housing Development - 56 Houses Alfold
This former garden nursery at the edge of a Surrey village was identified as a sustainable location to help meet housing targets in the county. The development required a robust strategy to meet the local planning policy by reducing the overall energy demands using both a fabric first approach and low carbon and renewable technologies.
As an all electric site, Mesh identified Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) as the most appropriate renewable technology, which, married with a strong fabric first approach will lead to a 48 per cent total energy reduction over the baseline figure. As we move away from fossil fuels, ASHP will become an important technology for such schemes.
We have successfully completed:
- High level feasibility study
- Sustainability statement
Project Status:
Planning permission was granted in March 2020. The project continues…
