Planning
At the earliest stages of development, establishing a clear and considered energy strategy is essential. At Melin Energy Consultants Ltd, our pre-planning services are designed to support architects, developers, and planning consultants in meeting local authority requirements while creating energy-efficient, sustainable, and future-ready buildings. Contact us to speak to a member of the team today.
Energy Statements
We prepare detailed Energy Statements that outline predicted energy consumption, efficiency measures, and compliance with relevant planning policies. Whether your scheme is residential, commercial, or mixed-use, we ensure that your Energy Statement provides clarity, transparency, and the necessary evidence to satisfy local planning authorities.
Sustainability Statements
Demonstrate how your development supports wider environmental and social goals. We take a holistic view—considering factors such as water conservation, materials selection, waste reduction, and biodiversity. Our statements are tailored to each project, reflecting both local policy requirements and the client’s own sustainability ambitions.
Whole Life Carbon Report
Understand the true carbon impact of your development from day one through to end of life. Our Whole Life Carbon Reports assess embodied and operational carbon, giving a clear picture of where emissions arise and how they can be reduced. We align assessments with current standards and planning guidance, supporting informed design decisions and clear carbon reduction evidence for planners and stakeholders.
Want to get started on your project?
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
See the real cost of your development over its full lifespan, not just at build stage. Our Life Cycle Cost Analysis compares capital, maintenance, and operational costs, helping you identify options that deliver long term value. The result is clearer decisions, smarter investment, and solutions that balance performance, cost, and durability.
Daylight Sunlight Analysis
Our daylight and sunlight assessments evaluate the quality and quantity of natural light within proposed developments, as well as the potential impact on neighbouring properties. We provide clear, impartial reports that help balance design aspirations with planning requirements, ensuring compliance with BRE guidance.
Overheating Analysis
Our overheating analyses assess internal conditions using dynamic thermal modelling to predict how spaces will perform during summer months. We work closely with design teams to recommend practical strategies that maintain comfort while minimising energy use. This can include shading, ventilation, and glazing specifications.
Why Choose Melin Energy?
By engaging with us during the pre-planning phase, you can identify potential challenges early, reduce design revisions later in the process, and ensure that your proposal aligns seamlessly with national and regional energy policies.
