ARKENOR – Environmental control office providing project management assistance for certifications, ecological assessments and regulatory measures

ARKENOR acts as the environmental control office for the ARKORIS group.

We verify compliance with environmental requirements, structure regulatory evidence and formalize the findings necessary for certifications, procedures and administrative authorizations. 

Our services cover project management assistance for sustainable building certifications, regulatory ecological assessments and mandatory technical measures, without design or project management services.

Securing environmental and regulatory requirements from the outset of projects

ARKENOR acts as an environmental control office to verify the compliance of projects in three complementary areas:

  • Sustainable building certifications and approaches : HQE Sustainable Building, NF Habitat HQE, BREEAM, BEE, HRE and QBD approaches (BDM, BDO, BDF, BDNA, BDBFC, BDB).
  • Regulatory ecological expertise : impact studies, protected species, Natura 2000, land clearing, ecological monitoring of construction sites.
  • Technical measurements and diagnostics : acoustics, infiltration testing, network sealing, energy performance certificates and thermal and acoustic certifications at the end of works.

 We verify the requirements, check the supporting documents and formalize the findings necessary for audits and administrative authorizations.

ARKENOR Trades

We act as an environmental control office to verify the conformity of certifications, regulatory ecological assessments and technical measures, from the upstream phase to delivery.

AMO Certifications (HQE-BD · NF Habitat HQE · BEE · BREEAM)

Verification of requirements and structuring of evidence for HQE Sustainable Building (Certivéa), NF Habitat HQE (CERQUAL), BEE (Prestaterre) and BREEAM certifications. Document control, audit preparation and coordination with certification bodies.

AMO Effinature & Biodiversity Reference Frameworks

Verification of requirements and structuring of evidence for HQE Sustainable Building (Certivéa), NF Habitat HQE (CERQUAL), BEE (Prestaterre) and BREEAM certifications.
Document control, audit preparation and coordination with certification bodies.

Environmental expertise & regulations

Regulatory studies and assessments: impact assessments (Article L.122-1 EC), protected species (Article L.411-1 EC), Natura 2000 (Article L.414-1 EC), land clearing (Article L.341-3 CF), preliminary agricultural studies.
Ecological monitoring of construction sites and traceability of mitigation measures.

AMO QBD Procedures (BDM · BDO · BDF · BDNA · BDBFC · BDB)

Verification and preparation of files for interregional sustainable building initiatives.
Control of evaluation grids, preparation of committees and monitoring of commitments at each stage.

Acoustic measurements & certifications

Regulatory on-site measures: soundproofing, impact noise, technical equipment.
Compliance reports and issuance of acoustic certificates required for certification and acceptance.

Air tightness testing, RE2020 & Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Infiltration testing and airtightness measurements of ventilation systems.
Energy Performance Diagnosis (DPE) and production of thermal and RE2020 certificates compliant with regulatory requirements.

Transferable skills

In addition to the labeling process, we support project teams on environmental strategy, evidence production, data structuring and skills development for stakeholders.

Reference data management

Analysis of applicable standards (HQE-BD, NF Habitat HQE, BREEAM, BEE, QBD, Effinature), definition of requirements, planning of verification milestones and organization of compliance reviews.

Technical reviews & document controls

Verification of documents produced by the project management team and design offices, data consistency check, formalization of discrepancies and securing of evidence before audit.

Environmental monitoring of construction sites

Site visits, verification of ERC measures, control of acoustic and sealing performance, preparation of certificates of completion.

Data, traceability & regulatory reporting

Structuring environmental evidence, tracking tables, preparing the elements necessary for audits, certifications and reporting (ESG, CSRD, European taxonomy).

Technical awareness training for teams

Targeted sessions for project owners and project teams: regulatory requirements, certification criteria, articulation between design, execution and control.

Technical assistance in tendering processes

Analysis of environmental documents, verification of the consistency of commitments, contribution to the technical soundness of submitted files.

Environmental project management assistance and sustainable building certifications

ARKENOR acts as an environmental control office to secure certification processes: HQE Sustainable Building (Certivéa), NF Habitat HQE (CERQUAL), BREEAM, BEE (Prestaterre) and QBD territorial processes.

The requirements are translated into operational criteria, the evidence is verified at each phase and the audits are prepared in coordination with independent certification bodies.

Biodiversity & Effinature Certification

ARKENOR supports operations aimed at Effinature biodiversity certification (NCO, EVO, HOR, HVE), published and issued by IRICE.

The tasks involve the ecological analysis of the site, the verification of commitments, the structuring of evidence and the preparation of reviews, while respecting the independence of the certifier.

Ecological assessments and regulatory framework

ARKENOR carries out the necessary expertise for regulatory procedures: impact studies (L.122-1 EC), protected species (L.411-1 EC), Natura 2000 (L.414-1 EC), land clearing (L.341-3 CF), preliminary agricultural studies.

The assessments inform the decisions of the project owner and secure administrative authorizations.

Regulatory measures & certifications

Acoustic measurements, infiltration tests, network leak tests and energy performance certificates (EPCs) allow verification of the conformity of the works.

ARKENOR provides the reports and attestations necessary for acceptance, certifications and RE2020 requirements.

Territorial approaches & ESG reporting

Regarding the BDM, BDO and other QBD frameworks, ARKENOR prepares the grids and the commissions.

 Environmental data is structured to feed into ESG, CSRD reporting and taxonomy analyses, consistent with IRICE's independent certification role.

Environmental project management assistance, ecological assessments and measures implemented throughout the territory

ARKENOR operates throughout France, with a structured activity in the South Region , Occitanie , Nouvelle-Aquitaine , Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Île-de-France .

We support project owners in environmental project management assistance on the main certifications and approaches: HQE Sustainable Building, NF Habitat HQE, BREEAM, BEE, Effinature and territorial standards (BDM, BDO, BDF, BDNA, BDBFC).

We also carry out regulatory ecological assessments (impact studies, protected species, Natura 2000, ERC sequence) as well as regulatory measurements and diagnostics : acoustics, RE2020 infiltration testing, network sealing, ventilation and EPC.

ARKENOR acts as an environmental control office to verify the compliance of operations and structure the necessary evidence, from design to delivery.
