Arverne Group installs geothermal system for its future headquarters in Pau

Pau, December 12th, 2024 – Arverne Group (FR001400JWR8, ARVEN), a French industrial company specializing in the production of renewable underground resources, announces the start of drilling work on the geothermal heating/cooling system for the Biotope building program, the Group's future headquarters in Pau.

As part of this project, Arverne Group and its subsidiary DrillHeat¹ will install 11 geothermal probes at a depth of 195 meters. These probes will be connected to a geothermal heat pump. This installation will not only heat but also cool the 2700m² of office space in the first building of the program, scheduled for delivery in the 1st quarter of 2025. The power supply will be connected to a rooftop solar system, guaranteeing 100% renewable energy. This innovative program has been awarded HQE Bâtiment Durable & BiodiverCity® labels, testifying to its high environmental performance.

Designed and built by the Essor group, with Camborde Architectes, Biotope is composed of two symmetrical buildings set in 7500m² of wooded grounds, blending perfectly into the environment while preserving the ecosystem. This workplace is designed as a good place to live, where the well-being of employees is paramount. As a mission driven company, Arverne Group has naturally chosen this program, which reflects its commitment to environmental and social responsibility.

"The installation of our headquarters within the Biotope program in Pau is a perfect illustration of our commitment to local, high-performance and sustainable energy solutions. Thanks to the geothermal solution we are deploying, this building embodies our know-how and our vision of its essential role in achieving a successful energy transition. We are proud to offer our employees a workplace that combines innovation, respect for the environment and well-being" says Pierre Brossollet, Founder and CEO of Arverne Group.
