RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGY

Renewable Technology

Make efficient use of the Earth’s natural resources to heat and ventilate a building; produce and store electricity; and make use of natural water reserves.

Renewable technologies are central to meeting Net Zero Carbon targets in construction. At Mesh, we work with technologies that make efficient use of the Earth’s natural resources to heat and ventilate a building; produce and store electricity; and make use of natural water reserves. Once a building’s fabric and airtightness have been optimised, we introduce renewable technology to help eliminate, or heavily reduce, the need for fossil fuel use on site.

Each elected technology is tailored for the application, while the type, sizing, placement, and control are all quantified and specified. Long gone are the days of vague system specifications. Success today relies heavily on understanding technical detail early in the design process to ensure the correct non-fossil fuel technical solutions are chosen.

Some of the renewable technologies we work with include:

Air, ground, and water source heat pumps

Mechanical ventilation and heat recovery (MVHR)

Solar photovoltaics (PVs) and battery storage

Solar thermal

Rainwater and greywater harvesting

Commercial heat pump

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.
