We are Building Atlas. Our vision is a fully sustainable commercial real estate sector. Our mission is to make this a reality through rapidly scaling building retrofits: the most sustainable building is the one that already exists. With a zero-touch approach, requiring nothing but the addresses of buildings, we help owners of commercial real estate portfolios: (1) find the best path to retrofitting their buildings; (2) avoid stranding risk and increase the value of their assets; (3) and get access to preferential financing and delivery partners to get the work done.
Our goal is to get as many buildings as possible retrofitted, so we recommend retrofit measures that bring the highest return on investment. Choosing the right building to focus on requires understanding its physics (building envelope and the energy systems), its current lease terms and use, its current value and future “green premium,” and the value of energy flexibility in a future grid. We gather all this data and build machine learning models to find the optimum retrofits across a portfolio of buildings.
To make this possible, we’re building a diverse team of people passionate about solving climate change in the built environment. We’re scattered around Europe and come from a variety of backgrounds, and we need your help!
Building Atlas is a remote-first company, with founders in London, Edinburgh and Munich.
We meet in person roughly once a month, and have regular team events both in-person and online. We believe this is an important way to build relationships and trust in the team, and to collaborate on projects.
We’re a European team, so we have core meeting hours approximately 10-4, 4 days per week. We’re flexible on when and where you work for the rest of your time.
We have a simple, clear process for candidates:
