What Alterea Group does

ALTEREA is a France-based energy engineering and consulting firm founded in 2004 by Alban LAPIERRE and headquartered in Nantes, operating across 8 agencies (Paris, Lille, Bordeaux, Lyon, Strasbourg, Marseille, Toulouse) organized into three regional directions (Grand-Ouest, Île-de-France, Nord-Est/Sud-Est/Sud-Ouest). The firm delivers Assistance à Maîtrise d'Ouvrage (AMO) and Maîtrise d'Œuvre (MOE) services across the full building lifecycle, covering energy rehabilitation, regulatory compliance (Décret Tertiaire, Décret BACS, RE2020), energy audits, BEGES carbon assessments, PCAET territorial climate plans, Schéma Directeur Énergie (SDE) master planning, and a distinctive Garantie de Performance Énergétique Réelle (GPE-R) warranty product that guarantees measured real-world performance outcomes over multi-decade horizons. A sub-brand, OMNIA Numérique, provides dedicated BIM/CIM digital engineering services (strategy consulting, AMO, management, synthesis) for clients digitalizing building and territorial data.

The firm's customer base spans five activity domains — social housing (bailleurs sociaux including Tarn Habitat, ICF Habitat), residential co-ownerships, public tertiary (Mairie de Toulouse, Ville de Laval, Ville de Bourges, Guingamp-Paimpol Agglomération, Nantes Université, IMT), private tertiary (Crédit Agricole, E.Leclerc, ARGAN, IBM, Hermès, Accor, HSBC), and healthcare (CHU de Nantes, CPAM 93). Access to French public-sector contracts is structurally enabled through attributaire status on UGAP and SIPPEREC framework agreements. Since joining the ALTYN group in 2019 as its flagship subsidiary alongside six other entities (A2MO, BECIA, DUJARDIN, CYRISEA, AVELTYS, ALTERESCO), ALTEREA has been positioned to deliver integrated engineering-to-contracting services across the building value chain.

Revenue is generated through project-based engineering and consulting engagements — negotiated contracts and competitive tenders on public procurement frameworks — with pricing determined per project. In 2022 ALTEREA became a société à mission with four ESG commitments aligned to France's National Low-Carbon Strategy and the UN SDGs, and holds LUCIE 26000 certification (864/1000). In November 2024 the firm relocated to the new AURORE headquarters in Nantes, and in January 2026 appointed Cyril VILLEMAIN as Directeur Général alongside a stated strategic reorganization for 2026.
