What LAPONIA does

LAPONIA is a privately held French energy renovation consultancy (bureau d'études) headquartered in Vieux, Tarn, with regional offices in Montferriez-le-Lez (Hérault) and Salles-Curan (Aveyron), operating across five southern departments (Tarn, Hérault, Aveyron, Tarn-et-Garonne, Aude). The company is held and operated by three co-founders — Christelle Dieu (Ingénieure INSA & IAE Toulouse, DAF and formatrice), Stéphane Sanchez (Ingénieur centralien) and Gaëtan Gobbels (Auditeur, Expert Rénovation énergétique, formateur) — and has more than ten years of experience in energy performance consulting. Service delivery is structured around three primary client segments: individual homeowners (Accompagnement Igloo for global renovation at €2,900 TTC, Accompagnement Inuit for per-gesture renovations at 10% of validated aid, and MaPrimeRénov audits at €1,100 TTC), copropriétés (AMO Boussole accompaniment and per-unit collective audits at €350/unit), and professionals (regulatory sale audits at €700, Mon Accompagnateur Rénov deposit assistance, B2B Ticket Réno employer-funded employee evaluations, and training distributed via CDF Formations).

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a Kirby CMS website (laponia.fr) built to RGESN eco-design standards, integrated with the Argile AI eligibility simulator for top-of-funnel lead qualification, plus partnerships with Watt For Change's Watt Solidaire (financing for low-income households) and Mylight150.com (photovoltaic scenario simulation). Core regulatory credentials — RGE OPQIBI 1911 (individual audits), RGE OPQIBI 1905 (collective audits), Mon Accompagnateur Rénov accreditation, and MaPrimeRénov agréé status — function as the operational license to monetize ANAH-funded programs.

Laponia's revenue model is almost entirely transactional and project-based: one-time fees for audits and Igloo accompaniments, outcome-based percentage fees for Inuit, per-employee fees for Ticket Réno, and per-seat revenue for CDF Formations training modules. The company is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no external investors, parent entity, or disclosed subsidiaries, and no published revenue, funding, or valuation figures.

2. Accompagnement Igloo (Full Renovation Accompaniment): Comprehensive renovation accompaniment package for global renovation projects at 2,900€ TTC flat fee, including audit, administrative management, works monitoring, and post-completion handover. One-time fee per project.
3. Accompagnement Inuit (Per-Gesture Accompaniment): Percentage-based fee (10% of validated aid amounts, minimum 300€ TTC per aid dossier filed) for homeowners pursuing individual renovation gestures rather than full renovation. Revenue scales with project scope and subsidy amounts.
4.

Team members Christelle and Gaëtan act as instructors on multiple training programs.
