MEFAB Technology + Performance

Smart Control
From the smart phone mefabapp controlled keyless entry to the energy management dashboard. Your MEFAB is not just a space, it is a smart space. Smart TV’s in the Living Space and Bedrooms can provide web connectivity in addition to your own phone, tablet or laptop. Kitchen appliances and automatic blinds for the Living Space and Bedrooms can all be controlled via smart tech using Alexa or similar voice command.
Connectivity Anywhere
Off Grid design demands connectivity anywhere. MEFAB can include satellite link technology to give web connectivity with a 2GB download speed from any location.
Animal Detection
For those locations in the wild MEFAB can include smart wildlife detection so you never miss that rare wildlife viewing opportunity. Just part of our design commitment that allows occupiers to enjoy the environment and location.
Energy Management
Integrated environmental sensors allow monitoring of energy use and internal conditions such as air quality.
On sites with multiple MEFAB spaces, energy management can also include demand side response and power balancing with viewing and recording for data analysis to optimise management and operational cost reduction giving reduced infrastructure requirements and expense.
Energy Generation
MEFAB.BIEG (Building Integrated Energy Generation) providing solar and optional wind power generation.
MEFAB.solar roof
designed to give a variable output to suit space size and demand. Optional vertical wind turbine technology available.
Energy is stored within the integrated modular battery storage which can be expanded to suit design requirements.
MEFAB.eglass Triple glazing with energy generating option.
Energy Use
Solar energy can be directed to provide water heating, to EV charging, or to the integrated battery storage via smart hub control. Energy generated by the optional vertical wind turbine will be fed to the battery storage.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Every MEFAB building has an integrated 7kW electric vehicle charger with smart control to charge direct from solar, from battery storage, or from the grid.
We can make your MEFAB building future ready for V2G technology, allowing an electric vehicle to provide power to MEFAB or as an additional energy store for grid, or micro grid
energy balancing.
Carbon Credit
As a carbon neutral building and with a planned low
carbon footprint in manufacture, transport and site assembly MEFAB can also offer a Carbon Credit incentive.
