Regulatory measurements & diagnostics in Nîmes.

Prefecture of the Gard, in Occitanie, Nîmes combines remarkable heritage, strong commercial development and one of the hottest climates in France (climate zone H3). Summer comfort becomes a major concern under RE2020, and acceptance measurements, air permeability, acoustics and ventilation, determine the real performance of buildings. Based in Aix-en-Provence, we work across Nîmes and the whole of the Gard for regulatory acceptance measurements, as an independent third party.

Our measurements

Six families of measurements & diagnostics in Nîmes.

RE2020 air permeability testing

QUALIBAT 8711

Airtightness testing (Q4Pa-surf air permeability): an intermediate test at the weathertight-shell stage to correct defects before lining, and a regulatory RE2020 acceptance test on the finished building.

Acceptance acoustic testing

NF EN ISO 16283

Airborne sound insulation (DnT,A / DnT,A,tr), impact sound (L'nT,w), equipment noise and reverberation: verification of the NRA housing requirements and the ERP order, carried out as an independent third party.

RE2020 ventilation airflow testing

QUALIBAT 8741

Functional checking of ventilation systems (airflow rates, pressure drops, ductwork airtightness) required by RE2020 at the handover of new dwellings.

Housing and commercial energy performance certificate (DPE)

certified assessor

Legally binding energy performance certificate (DPE), issued by a certified assessor, for sale, letting and monitoring under the tertiary-sector decree.

Drone aerial inspection

DGAC drone pilot

Inspection of roofs and façades, aerial thermography, photogrammetry and mapping by drone (DGAC-registered drone pilot), on sites that are difficult to access.

Electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements

NF EN 50492

Low frequencies at 50 Hz (electric field kV/m, magnetic field µT) and radiofrequencies from 9 kHz to 300 GHz (V/m), following the UTE/NF C99-132 and ANFR protocols. A criterion recognised in HQE and NF Habitat certification.

Why ARKENOR

What the local competitor does not cover.

Independent third party

Acceptance measurements kept separate from design: an objective, enforceable certificate for the client.

Drone inspection (DGAC)

Aerial thermography and photogrammetry by a DGAC-registered drone pilot, for hard-to-reach sites in Nîmes.

Upstream → downstream chain

From calculation (ARKEMEP) to measurement (ARKENOR) and independent third-party certification (IRICE, Cofrac 5-0655).

FAQ

FAQ, measurements & diagnostics in Nîmes

Yes. ARKENOR conducts acceptance measurements (air permeability, acoustics, ventilation) as an independent third party, separate from the design engineering office, which guarantees the objectivity of the certificate towards the client/developer and the technical inspector.
Yes. RE2020 measurements are carried out under QUALIBAT 8711 (air permeability) and 8741 (ventilation system checking) qualifications, recognised for regulatory certificates at handover.
On-site measurements are scheduled according to the progress of the works and the location. An intermediate air permeability test is slotted in from the weathertight-shell stage; acceptance measurements are programmed before handover. We confirm the date once we receive the works programme and the drawings.
Yes. In climate zone H3, RE2020 imposes a demanding ceiling on discomfort degree-hours (DH). While the thermal study sizes this at the design stage, acceptance measurements (airtightness, ventilation) verify that the building's real performance lives up to expectations, a condition for effective summer comfort.
