Buildings

On the Buildings page, you’ll find the core real estate assets in your portfolio. Each building includes its key characteristics, energy details, address information, and any optional data you add later, such as images, custom attributes, or area measurements. You can add buildings from the Buildings overview page and edit them on their detail page.

Add a new building

You can add a new building by selecting + Add on the Buildings list page or from the Buildings section in a site overview page. When you start creating a building, a form opens with the following sections:

• Object information

  This section contains the essential details about your building:

  • Site: The site the building belongs to. (Required)

  • Building name: The name of the building. (Required)

  This section lets you add optional details to enrich your building profile, such as:

  • Construction year

  • Parking spaces

  • Electric vehicle charging stations

  • Monument protection

  • Expected life and date

  • Fossil fuel exposure

  • Final building permit application status

  You can add high-level details about the building’s energy profile. These attributes help support sustainability reporting and energy assessments:

  • Primary electricity source

  • Primary water type

  • Primary heating source

  • Secondary heating source

  • Air conditioning

• Address

  This section lets you enter the building’s official address. Adding this information ensures the building appears correctly on maps and supports downstream data processes:

  • Country

  • City

  • ZIP code

After creating a building

Once you’ve set up a building, new sections open up on the building’s detail page. These help you add more context and manage important information:

• Images: Upload facade photos or other visuals.

• Custom Attributes: Add portfolio-specific details defined in your tenant-wide custom schema.

• Area Measurements: Review and manage the building’s areas, such as GFA, NRA, or rentable area.

You can edit each of these sections directly from the building’s detail view.

View and edit building details

When you select a building from the Building list, you’ll land on the Building information page. This page is organized into cards, each grouped by topic:

• Object information

• Address

• Additional information

• Energy information

• Images

• Area measurements

• Custom attributes

Each card can be edited on its own. Just click the three-dot icon on the card you want to update. This way, you can keep your building data structured and only change what’s needed, without having to work through long forms.

Delete a building

You can remove a building directly from the Buildings list page using the delete icon in the row. A building can only be deleted if it isn’t linked to other objects (like rental units or meters). If there are dependencies, you’ll need to take care of those first.

To delete a building:

1. Go to the list of buildings.

2. Hover over the row of the building you want to delete.

3. Click the Delete icon at the end of the row.

4. Confirm the deletion.

Access permissions

The Building feature is protected by permissions that control what you can see and do. These permissions are set up in the Admin Panel by the administrator.

Permissions are managed for each building individually, so different buildings can have different access levels.

To add a new building, you need Full permissions for the site it belongs to.
