Imagine having a digital twin of a building that acts like a detailed instruction manual for its entire life. Instead of guessing how to renovate an old school or home, these tools tell you exactly which materials to reuse and how to save energy. It is like using a smart map to navigate a construction project from the first sketch to the day the building is eventually taken apart.
Construction and renovation projects often suffer from poor data exchange, high material waste, and inefficient energy management. This leads to increased costs and a failure to meet circular economy goals.
A toolkit consisting of BIM-based digital tools, AI-powered services, and Digital Twins integrated into an openBIM system.
If you are a design firm dealing with fragmented data during building upgrades — this project developed a toolkit of AI-powered services and digital twins that ensures seamless data exchange. This allows you to embed circularity from the start of the design process.
If you are a contractor dealing with unpredictable costs and material waste in school renovations — this project developed a collaborative delivery methodology that optimizes resource management. It is being demonstrated in 3 real pilots, including a school in Athens.
If you are a manager dealing with inefficient energy use in old buildings — this project developed a digital ecosystem that guides users through maintenance and operation. This helps in managing a residential historical building, such as the one in Valladolid.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project aims to create cost-effective digital tools.
The project is being validated in 3 real pilots across different building types (residential, academic, and educational), suggesting a scalable approach for various construction sectors.
Based on available project data, the project uses an openBIM approach to maximize tool interaction and data exchange, though specific licensing terms are not listed.
It uses an openBIM system to ensure seamless interaction between different commercial solutions and newly developed services.
The project runs from 2025-10-01 to 2029-03-31, with the goal of reaching TRL8 by the end of the period.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 11 industrial partners (61% ratio) and 9 SMEs, indicating a strong focus on commercial viability. With 18 partners across 8 European countries, the project has a broad market reach and a high likelihood of practical application in diverse regulatory environments.
