Sustainability Data Exchange
Sustainability data for everyone.
SDX unifies today's patchwork of incompatible real estate sustainability data into a single, neutral platform — free to everyone to use and build on.
The Shared Solution
What a shared platform delivers
Comparable
Every building measured the same way — regardless of platform, geography, or asset class. One normalization standard means scores are directly comparable across portfolios and borders.
Auditable
Every number traces back to its source. Shared data lineage means investors, regulators, and owners can verify exactly where a figure came from and how it was calculated.
Integrated, Not Siloed
Data flows freely between owners, consultants, and software platforms through a single shared platform. No more reconciling exports across disconnected systems.
Value Shared, Not Extracted
Contributors receive benchmarks free and earn a share of the revenue their data generates. The economics flow both ways — the more you contribute, the more you receive.
Who SDX is for
Find the door that fits.
SDX serves four groups. Each one gets the same shared platform — and a path designed for how they actually work.
Owner
Measure, benchmark, improve. Free.
Score every building against six global benchmarks, hit your disclosure requirements, and find the next improvement — without paying for the platform.
Consultant
Many clients. One login.
Get invited into client orgs, work on their behalf with the right access level, and report at the portfolio level. Audit log on every action.
Developer
Read and write SDX from any agent.
Push or pull building data on behalf of owners through the open API, or wire SDX directly into Claude, Cursor, or your own agent via MCP. Free to integrate.
Capital Markets
Real-estate sustainability data, on tap.
For index providers, lenders, and research teams: pull standardized building performance data into your indices, underwriting, and internal workflows via MCP.
Three ways to use SDX
One shared platform. Three surfaces.
Most teams will start with one of three: ask the platform questions in Intelligence, manage portfolios in Desktop, or wire SDX directly into your own AI agent through the MCP Server. The data underneath is the same — pick the surface that fits how you work.
The shared layer is the product. The surfaces are how you reach it.
Current model
How it works today
- Owners pay subscription fees to submit their own building data
- That data is aggregated into proprietary benchmark databases the owner doesn’t control
- Benchmarks derived from contributed data are sold — sometimes back to the same contributors
- No governance rights, no data portability guarantees, no exit provisions
- The platform’s incentive is to maximize lock-in and switching costs
Shared value model
How SDX works
- The platform is free for everyone — owners, consultants, and software partners read and write at zero cost
- Contributors receive all licensed content free for their own internal use
- Revenue from third-party licensing of anonymized benchmarks is shared back as dividends
- An owner-led board sets the rules: data boundaries, product approvals, pricing, and surplus allocation
- The incentive structure rewards participation and data quality, not lock-in
The Data Dividend
Your data creates value. You should share in it.
Contribute
Owners submit verified utility + asset data via approved providers.
Standardize
SDX normalizes, QA-scores, and establishes audit lineage.
Benchmark
SDX licenses aggregated, anonymized benchmarks to the market.
Share
Surplus revenue distributed back to contributors as dividends.
Cost Center → Profit Center
Dividend formula is objective and auditable — weighted by eligible buildings, floor area, completeness, and data freshness.
