Building Atlas was founded in 2023 by Nick Taylor and Olga Khroustaleva, who previously built a supply chain decarbonisation platform together at Google. The company is UK-based, with a presence in London and Edinburgh.
Building Atlas position themselves as an AI platform for executing the right retrofits on the right buildings. Using only a building's address, they draw on hundreds of data sources to estimate energy use and carbon, show whether a portfolio is on track for its targets, and recommend the most effective retrofit projects.
Building Atlas suits owners of ordinary commercial stock, such as regional offices, retail and warehouses, which is often overlooked but holds much of the decarbonisation opportunity.
