Fluid engineering firm in Aix-en-Provence - ARKEMEP (HVAC • Plumbing • Electricity)
Objective: to stabilize the HVAC-Plumbing-Electrical technical choices upstream and to ensure compliance with the tender documents and execution.
Our engineers define consistent technical choices, optimize networks and ensure regulatory and operational compliance.
ARKEMEP carries out the complete engineering of fluid packages for residential, commercial and public facility projects.
Our engineers define consistent technical choices, optimize networks and ensure regulatory and operational compliance.
Why a specialized fluid engineering firm in Provence?
The Mediterranean climate imposes strong constraints on:
- HVAC sizing
- solar energy management,
- summer refreshment and comfort,
- hydraulic management and network pressures.
Fluid studies in Provence: specific requirements
The sizing of HVAC systems must take into account :
- low heating requirements
- high standards of summer comfort,
- internal and solar energy contributions,
- ventilation and air quality.
HVAC studies: heating, cooling, ventilation
ARKEMEP sizes all HVAC systems according to the project constraints:
- Air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps, hybrid systems,
- distribution networks, balancing, losses,
- single or double flow ventilation
- Sun protection and regulation.
- occupation scenarios,
- acoustic constraints,
- the measured energy impacts.
HVAC and electrical engineering for renovations and occupied sites
ARKEMEP supports renovation and rehabilitation projects for existing buildings, including those on occupied sites.
The tasks cover the diagnosis of existing installations, the definition of improvement or replacement scenarios, the production of tender documents and the analysis of work bids.
Sanitary plumbing: networks, pressure, DHW production
We conduct a complete network study:
- sizing, balancing, pressure losses,
- choice of materials,
- Legionella prevention,
- DHW production (collective or decentralized),
- loops, substations, sanitary protections.
Electrical systems (power and control): distribution, safety and functionalities
ARKEMEP provides electrical engineering services for all types of projects:
- General low-voltage switchboards
- terminal circuits, protections, selectivity,
- Indoor/outdoor lighting
- Fire safety systems, access control, video surveillance,
- digital infrastructures and low-voltage systems.
- regulatory compliance,
- continuity of service,
- ease of operation.
GTB and BACS Decree Compliance
We are incorporating the requirements of the BACS Decree:
- automated control systems,
- monitoring of consumption,
- HVAC regulations
- occupation scenarios.
Energy performance and building operation
Fluid engineering does not end with the delivery of the building.
ARKEMEP also intervenes to optimize energy performance in operation, in connection with the tertiary decree, the BACS decree and the procedures for monitoring consumption.
This approach helps to ensure the building's actual performance over time.

Inter-lot coordination and technical synthesis
ARKEMEP ensures the overall consistency of the systems:
- HVAC/Plumbing/Electrical compatibility
- interfaces with the RE2020 thermal regulations,
- acoustic integration,
- coordination of preliminary design and tender documents.
MEP & digital model (BIM)
The BIM digital model facilitates the coordination of HVAC, plumbing and electrical networks.
It allows for anticipating collisions, optimizing layouts, and improving the readability of plans.
It allows for anticipating collisions, optimizing layouts, and improving the readability of plans.
- inter-batch coordination,
- technical compatibility of networks,
- optimization of lengths and levels,
- reduction of rework on construction sites.
Mission phases and deliverables
The fluid missions cover the entire project cycle, from the initial sketch to execution:
- HVAC, plumbing, and electrical sizing
- calculation notes and technical files,
- network plans and schematic diagrams,
- advice on variations and optimizations,
- assistance during the DCE and VISA phases.
Specific climatic characteristics in Provence
Fluid installations in Provence must take into account:
- summer comfort as a priority,
- significant solar input,
- due to low heating demand,
- ventilation adapted to the Mediterranean climate.
➡️ Benefit: facilities that are truly adapted to local usage conditions.

FAQ - BET fluids HVAC, plumbing & electricity in Aix-en-Provence
What does a HVAC study carried out by a fluid engineering firm consist of?
It defines the principles of heating, ventilation and cooling, then sizes the networks and equipment adapted to the building.
Do you carry out electrical studies (CFO/CFA)?
Yes. ARKEMEP designs distributions, panels, protections, CFA networks and lighting studies in coordination with the architecture and other trades.
Does the BET fluids (fluid engineering firm) intervene on the construction site or only in the design phase?
ARKEMEP provides engineering and design services (from preliminary design to detailed design). Commissioning, adjustments, and balancing are handled by contractors or the technical project management assistance team.
Can you integrate MEP studies into a BIM model?
Yes, depending on the organization decided by the project owner. The HVAC, plumbing and electrical networks can be modeled to facilitate the synthesis.
Are you involved in the GTB and the BACS Decree?
Yes. ARKEMEP defines the functional needs of the BMS and the technical requirements of the BACS to be integrated into the technical specifications, without carrying out the adjustments or the commissioning.
Do you work exclusively in Aix-en-Provence?
No. We also support projects in Marseille, Toulon, Avignon, Salon-de-Provence, Nice and more broadly throughout the entire Southern region .
