Imagine a digital passport for a building that records every repair, material change, and energy upgrade ever made. Instead of digging through old paper files, all this info is stored in a secure, shared digital ledger that no single person can fake. It's like a transparent history book that helps owners and contractors make better decisions about saving energy and maintaining the property.
Building owners and cities struggle to track maintenance and energy data over a building's life, leading to inefficiency and non-compliance with EU sustainability directives.
A blockchain-based Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) and an extended Digital Building LogBook (DBL) with APIs for BIM/HBIM integration and ML-based alerting.
If you are a property management firm dealing with fragmented maintenance records across a large building stock — this project developed a Decentralized Knowledge Graph that logs every activity and change to improve sustainability and energy efficiency.
If you are an energy retrofitting contractor dealing with a lack of verified building data — this project developed a marketplace where actors share offers and quality certificates to support optimal intervention planning.
If you are a municipality dealing with the administration of a huge set of buildings — this project developed an extended Digital Building LogBook (DBL) that integrates BIM and HBIM data for better decision-making.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost details are provided; however, it mentions the creation of a marketplace where models can be traded in a market economy.
Yes, the project is designed for large populations of buildings and is being tested on building stocks and critical buildings via publicly available APIs.
The project utilizes an open source blockchain-based solution for its Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG), though specific commercial licensing terms are not listed.
The system is specifically designed to help buildings comply with EU directives related to sustainability, transparency, resilience, and energy efficiency.
It provides high interoperability with legacy systems and existing tools such as BIM and HBIM through accessible APIs.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 13 partners across 6 countries. With an industry ratio of 46% (6 industry partners, including 4 SMEs), there is strong market-pull and practical application focus, supported by 4 universities and 2 research centers to handle the complex blockchain and AI components.
