Residential
Residential and mixed use developments often have particularly stringent requirements for reducing carbon emissions, especially where there is a large social housing component.
Fontenergy work on a wide range of schemes, from large urban extensions to single homes. Click on the list at the right for a selection of projects.
Mixed-use scheme, East London
We are working with a private developer on a 350-home mixed use scheme in East London. With planning permission now granted, this development will be onsite shortly. We have provided consultancy services, working alongside the M&E engineer to develop the design. Fontenergy will fund an energy system that includes gas CHP and biomass boiler, resulting in a development that will produce all heat and 60% of its electricity onsite.
We will operate and manage the energy supply once development is complete.
Birmingham mixed use development
We are working with Places for People to provide an energy solution for a potential planned mixed use development near Birmingham that will include around 900 homes all meeting Code level 4.
Core elements of the proposal include district heating and biomass CHP, with the potential for existing buildings adjacent to take advantage of the low carbon energy generated onsite.
Central Bristol
We have provided technical and commercial feasibility studies for this mixed-use development in Bristol. The comprehensive regeneration near the town centre will provide over 400 homes, a hotel, school, retail offices, health centre and other community buildings. Fontenergy is also bidding to provide ESCO services to the completed development.
Elephant and Castle
This £1.5 billion, 170-acre programme includes the creation of a new pedestrianised town centre, market square, green spaces and around 5000 new homes, and the renovation of existing stock. We have reviewed the project for LendLease, advised on the implications of low carbon regulation for the developer, and advised on the ESCO bids.
London Olympics Athlete's village
We provided a high level assessment to help Lend Lease plan the athletes' village for the 2012 Olympics.
Work included an appraisal of the necessary investment, siting of renewable energy equipment, and options for the ownership and distribution commercial structures.
