Imagine if every building had a digital 'health record' that tracked everything from the materials used to how much energy it consumes daily. Instead of guessing how to fix an old building, owners can use a digital twin—a virtual copy—to see exactly where energy is wasted. It's like having a live dashboard for a house that tells you the best way to upgrade it for the future.
Building owners struggle to accurately measure carbon emissions and energy waste because they rely on static certificates and fragmented data. This leads to inefficient renovations and missed climate targets.
A Common Data Environment (CDE) for building data, a Renovation Planner for carbon and cost balancing, and physics-based Digital Twins for real-time monitoring.
If you are a property manager dealing with aging, inefficient building stock—this project developed a Digital Building Logbook that uses real-time sensor data to monitor actual performance. This allows you to move from static energy certificates to dynamic, evidence-based management.
If you are an ESCO dealing with inaccurate energy predictions for renovations—this project developed a Renovation Planner and Whole Life Carbon assessment tool. This helps you balance cost, value, and risk while ensuring climate-neutral results.
If you are an architect dealing with complex carbon emission calculations for new builds—this project developed a Common Data Environment that integrates material data and lifecycle assessments. This ensures your designs meet strict EU energy policies and carbon targets.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or commercial cost models are mentioned; the project is funded by an EU contribution of EUR 4,950,775.
Yes, the system is being validated across five pilot sites in Spain, Ireland, Denmark, Greece, and Switzerland to ensure it works across different geographic and building types.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project involves 11 industry partners, including 8 SMEs, who are likely co-developing the tools.
Yes, it integrates the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) recast, specifically the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) and Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs).
It uses a Common Data Environment (CDE) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) to ensure data accessibility and interoperability between different systems.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 11 industrial partners (58% ratio), including 8 SMEs. This suggests a strong focus on commercial viability rather than pure academic research. With 19 partners across 8 countries, the project has significant cross-border market reach and practical application expertise in the AEC and energy sectors.
