Job Description
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 were building a diverse team of people passionate about solving climate change in the built environment. Were a hybrid team with office space in London and Edinburgh where we meet regularly.
