Pilots
PILOT SITES
We will provide demonstrations in 2 new buildings and 2 renovation residential buildings in Finland, Austria, Italy, and the Netherlands.
By integrating the platform into the operations of SME contractors, large construction firms, and end-users, we will be able to accurately evaluate performance, obtain real-time feedback, and powerful exploitation.
Finland
PARTNERS: CAVERION, VTT
- ERP and Building Automations.
- NEANEX App to connect with the ERP.
- VCMP Suite for IDDS design and construction.
- BIMbots in the BIM Server.
- HTML App from VTT will help in IDSS VRM IoT App.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- The pilot will run in parallel with actual HVAC renovation or energy upgrade.
- The actual site will be selected from a typical block of flats that were built in the 1970s or ’80s among the buildings that are connected with Caverion’s 24/7 monitoring system.
- Those buildings are typically made from concrete elements, connected with the district heating system and they include a basic level of technics only.
- Flat Size: 30 m² or more.
OBJECTIVES
- Promote new BIM-based methodologies to control energy consumption as well as the indoor climate in existing residential buildings.
- Economic evaluation energy cost reduction. The special focus is on the ESCO type of projects.
- Demonstrate simplified information collection from existing residential buildings and use that information as input for BIM.
- Enable BIM-based energy analysis for residential renovation projects.
- To combine BIM with ERP system and especially with SAP to provide useful BIM connected data for the whole lifecycle of the building.
Austria
PARTNERS: CREE BY RHOMBERG
- Focus on extensive use of sustainability.
- Decision support tool development.

DESCRIPTION
- The demo site is located in Vasto (Abruzzo region) is under construction.
- A residential building with 2 underground floors and 4 above-ground floors.
- The actual single housing block contains 11 apartments and 20 garages. The future housing block after the refurbishment operation will contain 17 apartments and 18 garages.
- The dwelling is made of a reinforced concrete frame with reinforced concrete and hollow titles mixed floor.
OBJECTIVES
- Promote new BIM-based methodologies.
- Reduce construction time and costs of at least 15% compared to the current situation.
- Improve integration of the design, manufacturing, construction, and maintenance operations in every stage of the buildings’ lifecycle.
- Control and reduce the gap between predicted and real energy consumption in a residential building
