As a leading HVAC company in Europe, EQUANS AXIMA and its 12,000 employees bring
extensive experience and expertise in HVAC engineering.
EQUANS AXIMA specializes in various sectors, including Health, Nuclear, Data Centres, Tunnel Ventilation, Laboratories and the Marine Industry.
We're one of Europe's largest integrated HVAC design offices Energy and environmental efficiency (EEE) services Innovation. What if your technical equipment became a lever for economic and climatic.
Energy savings, indoor air quality, the performance of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, smoke extraction in buildings etc.
Responding sustainably to the challenges of performance and energy and health efficiency of tertiary or industrial buildings drives our teams daily.
Because our clients provide care, receive the public, build tunnels, ships, manufacture batteries, operate nuclear power plants or drug factories... EQUANS designs and installs air treatment and indoor environment control solutions that guarantee well-being and safety while offering sustainable performance. To achieve this, we rely on two essential pillars:
- Our perfect knowledge of your processes, thanks to which our teams can set up tailor-made support and offer you a turnkey service that considers your size and your requirements.
- Our HVAC systems and solutions are based on robust, scalable, and innovative technologies.
Our teams are supported by our in-house engineering departments, including one of the largest European HVAC design offices in France.
The experts in this design office build robust solutions and integrate the latest innovations, whether in terms of project management with optimised control of costs and schedules (intelligent management, BIM, predictive maintenance, connected sensors / IOT) or in terms of the scalability and performance of the building (to optimise the choice of installations by integrating the evolution of the building).
Our teams meet the most stringent standards in terms of technical compliance, environmental impact, and energy efficiency certifications. Finally, EQUANS can commit to its clients to guarantee equipment availability and service continuity.
