This is from a brochure presenting a photovoltaic roofing solution (it is presented as mainly suited to the non-residential market):
Le système est également conçu pour s’adapter aux contraintes environnementales et réglementaires les plus exigeantes, notamment dans l’agricole ou le collectif : ambiances agressives, hygrométrie, feu, thermique, acoustique.
Thanks!!

Cette rubrique regroupe les technologies et techniques applicables à l'échelle des bâtiments collectifs dans les domaines des énergies renouvelables, de l'efficacité énergétique, de la gestion de l'eau et de la valorisation des déchets.

Perhaps "public buildings/apartments" might cover the meaning better.

I take this to refer to the collectivités where (as most people know) building legislation is much stricter (exigeant) than for private homes.

offices/ office blocks
I think "office" is sufficiently general to cover those buildings which are not residential but not necessarily "public" either. They tend to be what you see when the train enters any big city.

mass buildings
