A world premiere: CFP Green Buildings launches NXTBLDNG with a unique building ID for every property

Imagine this: every building in the world captured in a single digital truth.
On 17 June, during the real estate fair PROVADA, CFP Green Buildings launched NXTBLDNG (Next Building): a revolutionary platform setting a new global standard for building data. From energy labels to climate risks, from apartment blocks to industrial halls. NXTBLDNG makes building data clear, reliable, and ready to use. For governments, banks, insurers and real estate professionals, it means faster, sharper, and more sustainable decisions.

A world premiere: a unique digital identity for every building 

At the heart of NXTBLDNG’s proposition lies a global first: a universally unique building ID. This identifier is linked to precise geographic coordinates, including elevation, providing a standard for every type of building. From terraced houses and shopping centres to military facilities and barns. This innovation enables a universal method to digitally identify, analyse and track buildings throughout their lifecycle.

Digital twins as the foundation for better decisions

This global ambition is already taking shape. NXTBLDNG delivers validated data for nearly 60 million buildings across the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Australia. Every building receives a digital representation, built from external data sources and enhanced with AI models. The result is data that is ready for immediate decision-making.

Each data profile includes over 200 fields, covering energy labels, improvement measures, property value, climate risks and renovation potential. All data points come with a trust score and are available via API, CSV or JSON. This makes them instantly deployable by banks, insurers, governments and property owners.

Full control over data  

With NXTBLDNG, data sharing is no black box. The platform is built on a distributed ledger, ensuring full transparency and traceability of data origins. Data ownership remains with the original source, who decides what is shared. Governance protocols and legislation (such as GDPR) are strictly followed.

A network for smarter building data

From heat pump suppliers to AI developers, NXTBLDNG is for everyone working on smarter real estate. The platform makes building data accessible to a wide network of partners, including installers, consultants, software developers and valuers.

The mission is clear. The real estate sector is one of the last major markets where e-commerce and data-driven practices are not yet standard. Without a central data infrastructure, processes remain slow and fragmented. NXTBLDNG is here to change that. And the best part? Every user helps make the platform smarter. By using the data, it is continuously enriched, improved and validated. In this way, NXTBLDNG grows with the market and helps build a digital, transparent and reliable real estate sector for everyone.

Big ambitions, real-world impact 

With over 1.6 billion buildings worldwide and a market potential of €5 to €16 billion per year, NXTBLDNG aims high. And its societal impact is just as important. This includes energy savings, climate adaptation and greater transparency in real estate. “Digitising buildings is not a goal in itself,” says Bram Adema, CEO of CFP. “It’s a catalyst for sustainability, policy goals and financial accountability.”
