Appendix: BuildingMinds Platform Service Description

A. General BuildingMinds Platform Services Overview

Through the BuildingMinds Platform, BuildingMinds offers various services across three key areas: data ingestion & management, reporting, benchmarking & risk analysis, and decarbonisation investment planning. The services are clustered into a core set of BuildingMinds Platform Services (“Core Services”) and optional BuildingMinds Platforms Services. Optional services are either offered by BuildingMinds alone (“Add-Ons”) or in collaboration with third parties (“Partner Extensions”). All services require Customer cooperation and fulfilment of dependencies, as described in Section C.

The overview below shows which Core Services are always included, and which Add-Ons and Partner Extensions may optionally be added to the scope of the relevant subscription agreement with Customer, e.g., an individual agreement for BuildingMinds Platform Services under a master services agreement, an order for BuildingMinds Platform Services, or an individually negotiated contract for BuildingMinds Platform Services (each, a “Subscription Agreement”).

BuildingMinds provides only a technical platform for administering consent. Customer is solely responsible for the content, including its validity and collection. If BuildingMinds should provide templates, these are for illustration only and should not be understood as legal advice. Customer remains solely responsible for conducting its own legal analysis and drafting its consent declarations accordingly. Customer uses this tool exclusively in its own name and under its own responsibility to obtain consents from its tenants. BuildingMinds acts as a data processor on behalf of Customer and does not enter into any direct contractual or other legal relationship with Customer’s tenants. Customer is responsible for ensuring that all communication with tenants in connection with this tool is conducted under Customer’s name and responsibility and does not create the impression of a direct legal relationship between BuildingMinds and the tenants. Customer shall not use the name, logos, trademarks or other identifiers of BuildingMinds in this context.

C. Customer Cooperation and Dependencies

Customer data provision and validation

The output of the BuildingMinds Platform depends on the quality of the data input, including data provided during onboarding. Timely, complete, and accurate data – kept up to date by Customer – is essential to ensure reliable BuildingMinds Platform results. This includes, but is not limited to, real estate master data, energy consumption data, lease data, ESG-relevant data points, and all associated documents.

Onboarding activities provided by BuildingMinds under separate agreements may define further requirements, such as system integrations, data sources, update frequencies, and update processes. These factors can significantly influence onboarding planning, timelines, and budgets. Delays or gaps during onboarding may directly impact the quality and completeness of the BuildingMinds Platform output.

While the BuildingMinds Platform supports data quality through pre-validations, pre-checks, and quality-related KPIs, Customer remains solely responsible for ensuring that all data inputs are accurate, complete, timely provided and properly maintained. This responsibility applies regardless of any automated support provided by the BuildingMinds Platform.

If Customer chooses not to provide or update certain data points, related BuildingMinds Platform features may be unavailable or function with limitations or inaccuracies.

Single sign-on integration

BuildingMinds offers Single Sign-On (SSO) integration exclusively for the identity providers Azure AD and Okta. The SSO functionality requires configuration by an authorised IT administrator of Customer at Customer's cost and responsibility. BuildingMinds can only perform SSO integration if Customer uses one of the supported identity providers and fulfils all required technical and administrative prerequisites on their side.

3D-BIM Models

Customer can upload 3D-BIM models to the BuildingMinds Platform in Revit or IFC formats. Creation of 3D-BIM models by BuildingMinds is not part of the BuildingMinds Platform Services and must be ordered and compensated under separate agreements.

Third-party input

The BuildingMinds Platform Services use benchmark data, models, and standards (e.g., CRREM) along with other third-party input. This input can come from sources that are not always publicly available. BuildingMinds does not generate this third-party input and therefore cannot confirm its accuracy and completeness, nor can BuildingMinds verify the methodologies, assumptions, or processes behind it. Such third-party input may prove incorrect or incomplete or change over time as its third-party providers update or replace their data and models. BuildingMinds will regularly update and replace third-party input used if updates, newer versions and/or types of input become accessible. Customers should consider this dependency when using the BuildingMinds Platform.

External system integrations

Some BuildingMinds Platform Services rely on integrations with external systems (for example, utility provider platforms, or other data services), including through APIs, and on the providers of those systems continuing to offer certain capabilities. These third parties may update or change interfaces, alter or retire features, experience downtime, or be affected by other events outside the BuildingMinds Platform; as a result, related features in the BuildingMinds Platform may be limited or become unavailable. BuildingMinds monitors these dependencies and works to adapt quickly, minimise disruptions, and – where possible – provide alternatives; however, the timing and availability of external services are outside BuildingMinds’ control. Customers should consider this dependency when planning their workflows and timelines.

Further, for integrations with external systems used by Customer, Customer needs to provide and permanently maintain the required access and interfaces at their own cost.

Variability of results

Results provided by the BuildingMinds Platform may prove to be incorrect, or alternative results may be equally valid. This is due to several factors beyond BuildingMinds’ control, which are inherent to data processing and the interpretation of regulatory frameworks required to deliver certain BuildingMinds Platform features:

• Regulatory frameworks, ESG standards, and other applicable laws and regulations which determine certain calculations and other data processing steps performed on the BuildingMinds Platform often leave room for interpretation. For example, when applying CRREM decarbonisation pathways or calculating carbon intensity, different jurisdictions or standards may allow for multiple valid approaches. The BuildingMinds Platform applies one consistent interpretation for calculation and analysis purposes, but other interpretations may also be valid and could lead to different results.

• Calculation logic and data management involve assumptions and fixed factors, especially in data cleansing processes. For instance, default values may be applied for missing lease durations or estimated energy intensities. These decisions can influence outcomes and may differ from manual calculations or customer-specific methodologies.

• Third-party inputs such as benchmark data, models, and standards may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change. BuildingMinds regularly updates these inputs when newer versions become available, but cannot verify their accuracy or completeness. See also “Third-party input” above.

• Customer-provided data may be inaccurate, incomplete, or not up to date, which directly affects the reliability of BuildingMinds Platform outputs. See also “Customer data provision and validation” above.

The BuildingMinds Platform does not replace legal advice or professional judgment and is not suitable for autonomous or fully automated decision-making processes without human oversight. Customers remain responsible for validating outputs before using them for decision-making and should consider seeking legal advice when using BuildingMinds Platform results for their specific purposes, including regulatory or ESG-related purposes. Legal advice is in no case in scope of BuildingMinds Platform Services.
