Renewable Energy Design
Expertly designed state of the art renewable technology for your building
Renewable Energy designs are crucial for buildings as they offer sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. A well-designed Solar PV Panel System has the potential to generate up to 80% of a building’s energy needs. Similarly, a heat pump, if designed correctly, can provide 100% of heating from renewable sources. Mantis Energy provides a range of design services for various renewable and low-carbon technologies to ensure optimal performance and efficiency in meeting a building’s energy requirements.

Air Source Heat Pump
- Air source heat pumps are highly efficient for heating buildings and hot water, boasting an average efficiency of over 300%, in contrast to the less than 100% efficiency typical of fossil fuel systems.
- Mantis Energy is equipped to collaborate with you in delivering an efficient, effective, and affordable air source heat pump system for your property. This not only provides reliable heating but also contributes to a substantial reduction in your carbon footprint.
- Air source systems operate at their peak efficiency when designed by an expert team like Mantis Energy. From the initial conceptualisation to performance monitoring and maintenance packages, we offer comprehensive support throughout the entire process.
Ground Source Heat Pump
- Ground source heat pumps perform even better than air source heat pumps with an average efficiency of over 400%
- Mantis Energy have extensive experience working with and designing these systems, from radiator sizing to bore hole drilling we can assist on projects of all scales
- Being considerably more expensive to install than air source heat pumps, ensuring the system design is accurate and effective for your building is key, this is where our team can help
Underfloor Heating
- Underfloor heating offers efficient and effective radiant heat distribution, providing warmth in a gentle manner. Additionally, it frees up valuable wall space, contributing to a more versatile and aesthetically pleasing interior
- Our team takes into account the shape of the floor area, the type of flooring material, and any floor coverings installed. These considerations are crucial as they impact the overall effectiveness of an underfloor heating system.
- Underfloor heating (UFH) complements a heat pump heating system well because it operates effectively at lower temperatures. This allows the heat pump to provide the same amount of heat compared to higher temperatures required for traditional radiator systems.
Mechanical Ventilation & Heat Recovery
- Mechanical Ventilation is used to remove damp, polluted air from a building and replace it with fresh, clean air instead
- Mantis Energy is well-equipped to assist with various types of mechanical ventilation systems, including both centralised and decentralised options. We provide comprehensive support, from the initial project conception to installation, commissioning, and ongoing monitoring. Our goal is to ensure that your ventilation system is operating at its best efficiency.
- With stricter airtightness requirements for both new and retrofitted properties, the use of mechanical ventilation is essential to meet building regulations. It not only helps achieve compliance but also significantly reduces the energy required for heating/cooling while improving indoor air quality.
VRF Air Conditioning
- VRF stands for Variable Refrigerant Flow, a energy-efficient air conditioning technology. It allows a single outside unit to serve multiple indoor units by supplying just enough refrigerant to each indoor unit based on its cooling requirement at any given time.
- As we enhance insulation and airtightness in our homes, there’s a growing need to introduce cooling systems to maintain comfort, especially during sunny and warm days in the summer.
- Mantis Energy has successfully designed and installed VRF air conditioning systems for a diverse range of clients. Our focus is always on ensuring that these systems are not only effective but also efficient and affordable to operate.
Solar PV
- Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) panels generate clean renewable electricity directly from exposure to sunlight. They are a great way to complement a newly built or retrofitted building by powering appliances such as mechanical ventilation or a heat pump
- There is a diverse range of solar PV panels to choose from, including aesthetically pleasing options that seamlessly integrate into the existing roof, offering both functionality and visual appeal.
- Our team can guide you in selecting the type of panels, determining the system size, estimating energy generation, and ultimately specifying, designing, installing, and commissioning a solar PV system tailored to your project.
Battery Storage
- A great method to capture and store more of the solar PV energy you generate is by using storage solutions. This enables you to make the energy available for use when the sun isn’t shining, such as during the night.
- Even without solar PV, you may still benefit from Time of Use (ToU) tariffs. These tariffs allow you to charge your batteries from the grid when electricity is cheap and then utilise that stored energy during times when electricity is more expensive.
- We offer support in planning, installing, and activating the appropriate battery system for your building. The expansive rooftops of commercial buildings provide an ideal area to capture extra energy for fulfilling your building’s requirements.
Wind Turbines
- The UK possesses more than 40% of the potential wind energy available in Europe, making wind turbines an excellent means to generate renewable electricity for your business or wind farm project.
- Wind turbines typically generate more energy during the autumn and winter seasons, providing an excellent complement to solar PV systems that tend to produce more energy in the spring and summer. This seasonal synergy allows for more consistent energy production throughout the year.
- If you require guidance in navigating the options for different wind turbines, assessing the suitability of your site, and ultimately securing professionals to design, install, and commission a wind turbine system, Mantis Energy is ready to assist you.
Electric Vehicle Charging
- Starting from 2035 in the UK, new cars will no longer be sold with fossil fuel engines. This shift requires the installation of millions of Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers across the country to meet the increasing demand for electric vehicles.
- Get ahead of the curve by installing an EV charger for your business. In many instances, the expenses can be balanced out by the increase in property value linked to having such a charging facility.
- We can assist you in determining the type, style, number, and location for your EV chargers. Once decided, we can ensure they are properly fitted to meet all your on-site charging needs.
