Case Study: BuildingMinds achieves data-driven sustainability and 10–20% cost savings with Microsoft Power Apps

BuildingMinds disrupts the global real estate market while creating a more sustainable future

BuildingMinds, a Berlin-based startup, helps real estate owners, managers, and investors meet tightening sustainability mandates and optimize portfolio returns despite fragmented or missing building data. To tackle the need for real-time asset, energy and utilization insights, BuildingMinds partnered with Microsoft Power Apps and the broader Microsoft Power Platform and Azure services for strategic guidance and technology support.

Using Microsoft Power Apps alongside Azure, Power BI, and Microsoft Consulting Services, BuildingMinds launched a cloud-native SaaS platform with an industry Common Data Model and Digital Building Twins to run decarbonization analytics, what-if scenarios, and retrofit cost simulations. The Microsoft Power Apps–enabled solution has driven measurable impact—clients are cutting real-estate costs by 10–20%, accelerating time to market, identifying stranded assets, and scaling sustainability and reporting across portfolios.
