Medieco

What Medieco does

Medieco is a French health engineering consulting firm founded in 2009 that specializes in integrating indoor air quality (IAQ) and broader health considerations into building construction, renovation, and urban development projects. The firm operates from four offices across France (Aix-en-Provence headquarters, Lyon, Nantes, Clichy) and serves a client base of property developers, municipalities, metropolitan authorities, and public infrastructure operators. Its service portfolio spans five interconnected lines: AMO Santé & Bien-être (project management assistance for health integration), Mesures QAI (IAQ measurement campaigns supporting HQE, BREEAM, LEED, WELL, OSMOZ, and ECRAINS certifications), Urbanisme & Santé (Urban Planning for Health/UFS), R&D, and Etudes/conseils/formation (studies, consulting, and training).

Medieco's technical differentiation rests on proprietary methodologies developed in partnership with ADEME (the French Agency for Ecological Transition) and CSTB. These include the ECRAINS method (Engagement à Construire Responsable pour un Air Intérieur Sain), for which Medieco serves as the ADEME-designated referent; Ateliers AIRBAT (on-site construction-site training workshops); and Air by Medieco (an internal IAQ approach inspired by existing certifications). The firm has participated in nine or more national research programs, including VIA-Qualité, DETOX, VNAT, Perf In Mind, EXP'AIR, CRECH'PE Free, and PROFEEL QUARTET, with measurement campaigns conducted via COFRAC-accredited laboratory partners.

The company operates a professional services model: quote-based, project-driven engagements, typically multi-year, addressing public and private building stakeholders from project diagnosis through exploitation. Distribution is direct to enterprise and government buyers, supplemented by public procurement processes for territorial authority work. Since July 2022, Medieco has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISPIRA Group, which raised €3 million in December 2022 to build a leading French air-quality group with planned expansion into Belgium and Italy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the firm serves only professional clients.
