Building Atlas

What Building Atlas does

Building Atlas is a UK-based retrofit planning software platform serving commercial property teams facing regulatory and capital pressures around MEES, CRREM, and net zero compliance. The platform aggregates fragmented building performance data — including EPCs, floor areas, use types, leases, surveys, and meter data — drawn from Ordnance Survey (AddressBase), OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, UK Government EPC data (MHCLG), HMRC valuation, and DESNZ energy benchmarks, then structures each asset against compliance and capital planning scenarios. Its core technology is a scenario modeling engine that compares MEES, net zero, budget-led, and custom retrofit pathways, producing capex ranges, payback, savings, energy and carbon impact, and rating movement projections suitable for Investment Committee papers, lender engagement, and adviser briefings.

The product suite spans four tiers: the full Platform for ongoing portfolio management, Portfolio Plan as a portfolio-level entry report, Pulse for single-building due diligence, and Connect (API/MCP) for embedding Building Atlas intelligence into partner portals, dashboards, internal tools, and AI agent workflows. Revenue is generated through platform subscriptions, recurring Portfolio Plan subscriptions, one-time Pulse report fees, and subscription-based Connect API access. Distribution combines a self-serve product-led growth funnel with enterprise sales and a channel partner programme used by sustainability consultancies (Eight Versa, Pineapple Partnerships) that embed Building Atlas output in their own client deliverables. Named customers include MAPP, Knight Frank, Savills, Westminster City Council, and the Church of England Church Commissioners; the company is backed by Geovation, Google for Startups, Imperial College London, UK Green Building Council, CRREM, Cquel, and Perseus.

Core offering

Building Atlas provides a retrofit planning software platform for UK commercial property that aggregates building data (EPCs, floor areas, use types, leases, surveys, meter data) into a single planning layer to identify compliance exposure, model MEES, CRREM, and net zero retrofit pathways, and estimate capex ranges with payback, savings, and carbon impact. It is sold via the full Building Atlas Platform, portfolio-level Portfolio Plan reports, single-asset Pulse reports, and API/MCP access through Building Atlas Connect for embedding into partner and customer systems.

Product overview

Building Atlas is a retrofit planning software platform for commercial property that offers four interconnected products: the core Building Atlas Platform for comprehensive portfolio management and monitoring; Portfolio Plan for portfolio-level reporting on exposure and priorities; Pulse for single-building due diligence reports; and Building Atlas Connect for API/MCP access to integrate intelligence into external systems. The platform transforms scattered building data (EPCs, spreadsheets, surveys) into costed, prioritized retrofit plans with pathway comparison against MEES, CRREM, and net zero targets.
