Energy Statements

Clear energy strategies to support planning, compliance, and sustainable development

Technical energy statements to support planning applications, demonstrate compliance, and inform low-carbon design strategies.

MES Building Solutions provide clear, planning-focused energy statements to support developments across the UK. Our reports demonstrate compliance with local and national planning policy, assess energy demand, and set out practical strategies for reducing emissions.

Energy statements are a key requirement for many planning applications. They provide a structured assessment of how a development will reduce energy use, incorporate low-carbon technologies, and respond to relevant sustainability policies. Our approach ensures that energy strategies are realistic, proportionate, and aligned with project objectives.

We work closely with design teams to develop coordinated solutions that integrate building fabric, services, and renewable technologies, supporting both planning approval and long-term performance.

When an Energy Statement is Needed

Energy statements provide a structured approach to demonstrating how developments respond to climate and planning policy requirements.

By addressing energy strategy early, projects can avoid redesign, reduce risk, and deliver more efficient, future-ready buildings.
