Digital Data System for Managing Building Lifecycles and Asset Value

constructionPilotedTRL 6

Imagine if every building had a digital passport that tracked everything from its birth to its renovation. Instead of digging through old paper files, owners can see exactly how a building performs in real-time. It's like having a health app for a skyscraper that tells you when to fix things to save money and energy.

The business problem

What needed solving

Building data is currently trapped in silos, making it hard for owners to manage energy, health, and renovations efficiently. This fragmentation leads to wasted resources and poor financial decision-making.

The solution

What was built

A Building Digital Logbook and a Capitalisation toolset for energy planning, virtual facility management, and low-carbon renovation.

If you are a city municipality dealing with inefficient public building portfolios — this project developed a data accumulation system for city-scale implementation. This helps in managing energy flexible neighbourhoods and public assets.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or price of implementing this system?

Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project prioritizes low-cost data collection options to reduce entry barriers.

Can this be deployed at an industrial scale?

Yes, the project includes city-scale implementation and large scale health facilities as part of its 6 demo cases to prove scalability.

How is the IP and licensing handled?

Based on available project data, the project establishes an open ecosystem and interfaces with EU dataspaces, suggesting a focus on open data standards.

How does this integrate with existing building software?

The system uses connectors to interface with EU dataspaces and a Building Digital Logbook to consolidate information.

What is the timeline for market availability?

The project runs from 2025-01-01 to 2028-06-30, with the goal of proving near-market readiness by the end of the period.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-driven with 13 industrial partners (59% ratio), including 8 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 4 universities and 3 research centers across 10 countries, indicates a high focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than pure theory.
