Our analysis and innovations
To meet the growing demands of the ecological transition, the real estate industry needs to change its methods. Sustainable performance cannot be decreed, it has to be built. It requires a coherent chain of players, reliable tools and the ability to articulate environmental ambitions with technical, financial and regulatory realities. It is in this spirit that the ARKORIS group brings together the expertise of ARKEMEP, ARKENOR and IRICE, providing project owners, developers and investors with a structuring, operational and independent framework.
A new standard for the ecological transition of the real estate sector
Faced with accelerating environmental, social and regulatory requirements, the real estate sector can no longer make do with scattered initiatives. Sustainable project performance cannot be achieved without an integrated approach, rooted in the realities on the ground, driven by reliable indicators and supported by independent expertise. This is the ambition pursued by the ARKORIS group, mobilizing the combined skills of its three entities: ARKEMEP, ARKENOR and IRICE.
Applied environmental engineering: ARKEMEP for real-world performance
ARKEMEP supports projects right from the technical design stage, integrating thermal, acoustic and fluid dimensions to ensure quality of use, energy efficiency and occupant health. This applied engineering is an operational lever for controlling environmental impacts and securing expected results.
🌿 In concrete terms: dynamic thermal simulations, customized sizing, consumption modeling, acoustic strategies adapted to specific uses, etc.
Ecological expertise, compliance and project management support: ARKENOR's key role
ARKENOR acts as a cross-functional partner for all phases of the project, ensuring compliance with environmental standards, integrating biodiversity requirements, carrying out regulatory diagnostics and implementing ZAN or E+C- strategies. It also assists project owners in managing certifications such as HQE, BREEAM or BBCA.
🧭 ARKENOR enables project owners to structure their approaches, make trade-offs more reliable, and articulate regulatory requirements, local expectations and low-carbon trajectories.
IRICE: measuring, certifying and structuring environmental value
IRICE completes the approach as an accredited certification body. Independent and impartial, it issues the Effinature certification, which has become a benchmark for the assessment of biodiversity in real estate. By being recognized by local authorities and investors, IRICE enables projects to assert their environmental credibility beyond the declarative.
📊 Certification, traceability, legibility: IRICE provides projects with an objectified commitment value, compatible with the ESG requirements of financial and institutional players.
A unified approach, serving projects and territories
The combination of ARKEMEP, ARKENOR and IRICE expertise enables us to structure a coherent value chain, from design to operation, without any conflict of interest or dilution of responsibility. This methodical integration guarantees the continuity of commitments, the clarity of technical choices and the ability to keep environmental promises over the long term.
🤝 It's this approach that today enables several territories (such as Toulouse Métropole, Grand Paris Sud or Est Ensemble) to prescribe indicators derived from Effinature certification, and project owners such as CDC Habitat, Poste Immo or Kaufman & Broad to structure their biodiversity strategy around robust tools.
Conclusion: building sustainably is no longer about compliance, it's about transformation.
At ARKORIS, we are convinced that sustainability cannot be left to intuition or rhetoric. It must be based on evidence, embodied by expertise, supported by synergies and rooted in the realities of local communities. This is the essence of our integrated approach to real estate development, with a proven track record.
