Does the real estate office deserve a commission on the sale of the building, knowing that the buyer contacted the seller directly after learning the location of the building through the office, and the office did not take any further actions after that? And how much would the commission be if it is deserved?

The office owner has a right to a commission, either explicitly agreed upon or by common custom. Therefore, if he guided you to the building you purchased, he is entitled to a brokerage fee for that. The amount he deserves is determined either by agreement or by prevailing custom.
