Building Atlas

Retrofit planning software for commercial property

Turn building data into a retrofit plan you can defend.

Building Atlas identifies which buildings need attention, which measures are worth considering and what they would cost. Learn how each pathway affects compliance, energy use, emissions, and capital planning.

Retrofit is a capital planning problem.

Commercial property teams are being asked harder questions about buildings: which assets are exposed, what compliance will require, what retrofit might cost, and whether the work belongs in the capex plan.

The data usually arrives scattered across EPCs, spreadsheets, surveys, assumptions, and half-finished reports. Building Atlas brings it into one planning layer, so teams can compare buildings, measures, costs, trade-offs, and timing before money is committed.

Which buildings need a decision?

Find the assets carrying compliance exposure, weak rating trajectories, high energy use, higher emissions, or likely retrofit burden.

What should the work cost?

Estimate capex ranges by building and measure, with payback, savings, energy impact, carbon impact, and rating movement.

What should happen first?

Compare pathways and sequence work by risk, budget, target outcome, and commercial relevance.

From addresses to a costed plan

Building Atlas is built around the practical route from imperfect portfolio data to decisions people can act on.

01

Send the portfolio

Start with addresses and any asset data you already have. Add EPCs, floor areas, use types, leases, surveys, or meter data where available.

02

Build the baseline

Building Atlas structures each asset, assesses performance, rating position, emissions, energy cost, heating fuel, constraints, and data confidence.

03

Model measures and scenarios

Review feasible retrofit measures, then compare MEES, net zero, budget-led, or custom pathways across the portfolio.

04

Take the plan forward

Use the output to prioritise capex, support IC papers, brief advisers, engage lenders, or manage the plan over time in the platform.

Use Building Atlas in the way that suits you.

The same Building Atlas intelligence sits behind every route. Choose the level of access that matches the decision in front of you.

Built for the teams who have to make the call.

Different teams come to Building Atlas with different pressures. The underlying question is the same: what should we do with these buildings?

Asset managers and investors

Prioritise retrofit capex, protect asset value, and decide which buildings need attention before compliance, leasing, refinancing, or disposal becomes harder.

For asset managers

Lenders

Screen property exposure, support borrower conversations, assess green-loan eligibility, and bring retrofit risk into credit review with clearer building-level evidence.

For lenders

Consultancies and partners

Deliver costed retrofit planning without rebuilding the model every time. Use Building Atlas behind your own advice, reports, and client work.

For consultancies

Property and facilities managers

Understand which buildings are driving cost, risk, and emissions, then build a practical plan for compliance, opex, and net zero commitments.

Building Atlas, supported by Eight Versa's advisory expertise, provides a powerful and practical solution for rapid feasibility assessment, compliance screening, and early-stage net zero planning. By turning complex data into clear options the software allows for stronger stakeholder engagement, and a more confident path forward, whether that journey starts with a single building or spans an entire national portfolio.

A plan is only useful if people trust the assumptions.

Building Atlas makes the underlying assumptions visible: data sources, confidence levels, building constraints, measure logic, cost ranges, and expected movement in ratings, energy use, emissions, and payback.

This matters because retrofit decisions are rarely made by one team. Asset managers, lenders, advisers, sustainability leads, and finance teams all need to understand what sits behind the recommendation.
