# Buildings
> Learn how to create and manage buildings in your organization portfolio
The **Buildings** page, accessible from the left-hand sidebar, displays all buildings in your Launchpad workspace. It allows you to create new buildings and provides detailed controls for managing existing buildings, including building details, which products are enabled, and publish status.
You can filter buildings by state, city, property type, enabled products, and status using the `Filters` panel. You can also export the building list as a CSV or bulk import buildings from a spreadsheet.
## Create Buildings
You can create buildings from the **Buildings** page using the `+Add Building` button. Follow the steps outlined below to create a new building.
Once inside Launchpad, navigate to the **Buildings** page located on the left-hand sidebar.
Once inside **Buildings** click the `+Add Building` button to open the building creation form.
Configure the required details for the new building. The form includes General Information, Address Information, and Identifiers sections.
| Field | Example Configuration |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name\* | `Headquarters` |
| Year Constructed | `2015` |
| Area\* | `50000` |
| Type\* | `Office (choose from dropdown)` |
| # of Floors | `12` |
| Country Code | `United States +1` |
| Phone Number | `+1 555 123 4567` |
| Base Temperature\* | `65` |
| Unit\* | `Fahrenheit` or `Celsius` |
| Address\* | `225 Broadway, New York, New York, United States, 10007` |
| Street\* | `Filled from Address` |
| City\* | `Filled from Address` |
| State | `Filled from Address` |
| Country\* | `Filled from Address` |
| Zip | `Filled from Address` |
| Address Line 2 | `Suite 100 (optional)` |
| Region | `Choose from dropdown` |
| Brand | `Choose from dropdown` |
| Zone | `North` |
| District | `Downtown` |
| Identifier | `BLDG-001` |
| Site | `Choose from dropdown or add your own` |
| Identifier | `Choose from dropdown or add your own` |
Once you have configured the required building details, click `Save` to create the building.
New buildings default to **Unpublished**. Until you publish, access in KODE OS is limited to roles that can see unpublished buildings (for example, Super Admin).
When the building is ready for broader access, click `Publish`, then confirm with `Yes, Publish`. You can also publish later from the building detail page.
Creating and publishing a building is not enough for it to appear as expected in KODE OS. Your channel partner must [enable products](/products/launchpad/channel-partners/product-enablement) for that building from the channel Launchpad. A published building without enabled products may still be missing from KODE OS.
**Base Temperature** and its unit also feed weather-related widgets in Building BI. Set them to match the climate baseline you want those widgets to use.
## Manage Buildings
The **Buildings** page lists all existing buildings in rows, with each row displaying key details about the respective building. Each building in your organization has a dedicated page that provides a centralized interface to view and manage all details related to that building.

To manage a building, follow the steps outlined below:
Once inside Launchpad, navigate to the **Buildings** page located on the left-hand sidebar.
Select a building from the list. You will be redirected to its **dedicated** page.
Once inside the building's dedicated page, you can view general information, edit building details, and enable or disable products using the product toggle cards.
You can complete the following actions:
* Edit building details
* Enable or disable products for the building
* Manage publish status
If you are a client organization, contact your KODE Labs representative to enable products for your buildings. Product enablement is managed by your channel partner through their Launchpad workspace.
