PassiveLogic, the pioneer of generative autonomy for buildings, and Aroundtown, one of Europe’s largest real estate companies, have announced a partnership to deploy PassiveLogic’s digital-twin platform and autonomous building controls across Aroundtown’s portfolio. The partnership aims to cut costs and emissions, advance sustainability results, streamline daily operations, and elevate tenant comfort at scale while preparing the portfolio for future regulatory requirements.
The deployment will bring buildings in line with upcoming requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), Europe’s roadmap to a fully decarbonized building stock by 2050, with regulatory thresholds starting as early as 2026. The partnership sets a new standard for building efficiency and performance by applying AI-driven autonomous controls that continuously optimize performance, providing real-time visibility into all major building systems.
“PassiveLogic is transforming our building operations from reactive to proactive,” declared Limor Bermann, Chief Sustainability Officer at Aroundtown. “By embedding autonomy into our assets, we lower costs, reduce carbon emissions, and extfinish the life of critical systems—while offering tenants a consistently higher-quality experience. This is not only about today’s savings, but about preparing our portfolio for the next generation of performance and sustainability standards.”
Troy Harvey, CEO of PassiveLogic, emphasized the transformative potential of the technology: “Buildings are no longer passive infrastructure; with AI and autonomy, they’re becoming a new workforce that manages energy, operations, and sustainability on their own. Aroundtown’s footprint will serve as a model for the indusattempt, displaycasing how our generative-autonomy platform delivers owner control, occupant comfort, and streamlined workflows free from legacy constraints.”
The partnership represents a key milestone in Europe’s pivot toward a low-carbon, high-performance built environment, providing a model for the indusattempt’s broader transformation to a climate-forward future. The technology deployment accelerates modernization, strengthens Environmental, Social, and Governance compliance, and lays the groundwork for smarter, more sustainable operations across one of Europe’s largest commercial real estate portfolios.
