French term

nommage QE

French to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
" - Et pour obtenir la **nommage QE**?
- Ah il va falloir être très très vigilants sur les questions d’isolation, c’est le point délicat du dossier."

From a transcript of two architects (apparently) talking about building plans. They then go on to talk about where to put the swimming pool. That's the only context!

Not sure if it could have been transcribed wrongly...

Thanks in advance!

"Environmental Quality Designation"

Could be HQE (Haute qualité environnementale) = High Environmental Quality, a certification type depending on a variety of factors (isolation, energy-efficiency, etc.)

Certification would be appropriate, I think, even though "nommage" specifically refers to the designation.
Peer comment(s):

agree Jack Dunwell : Yes, 350,000 hits is a good start. And it fits."Certification" might be good?
