DigiBUILD

Traditional silo approaches, where stakeholders manage their own data, could be replaced by digital and smart buildings, merging heterogeneous data sources, and placing the stakeholders as the core of these buildings. DigiBUILD will catalyse this much-needed transformation by making use of high-quality data and next generation digital building services, supporting the deployment of EUwide Framework for a Digital Building Logbook. An inclusive environment for multi-stakeholder knowledge exchange (based on European Bauhaus initiative) will be applied to co-design end-user-oriented services. DigiBUILD will provide an open, interoperable and cloud-based toolbox to transform current ‘silo’ buildings into digital, interoperable and smarter ones, based on consistent and reliable data, supporting better-informed decision-making for performance monitoring & assessment, planning of building infrastructure, policy making and de-risking investments. It will be built on top of existing platforms and common EU initiatives, towards an Energy Efficient Building Data Space, based on standard cloud-data platform frameworks (FIWARE) and Data Space initiatives (GAIA-X and IDSA). On top of this advanced data governance framework, we will create AI-based data analytics and Digital Building Twins based on highquality data, aiming to facilitate transparency, trust, informed decision-making and information sharing within the built environment and construction sector, which will be deployed across 10 real-world conditions (TRL 8). DigiBUILD will contribute to the uptake of digital technologies in the building sector to better align the EU Member States’ long-term renovation strategies with the EPBD requirements on decarbonisation, and on a path towards a climate-neutral building stock by 2050.

Task 6.3. Open access / standardised European buildings & synchronisation with EU Data Spaces [M1-M36]
This task aims at contributing to relevant Standardisation bodies at the interplay among ICT and built environment. We will build upon already established connections and experience, both on national and European level, aiming at reinforcing them from lessons learnt and best practices during deployment and validation in pilots. Standardisation efforts will be directed towards 3 dimensions: data economy, building regulations and energy management for the built environment. In this respect, we will make sure that the broad initiatives of GAIA-X/IDSA around the Energy Data Space finds a resonance within DigiBUILD and vis et versa. Activities will be performed following a step-by-step approach: (1) At first a strategy for standardisation will be established; (2) An analysis of technical items for standards requirements will be performed for all involved WPs; (3) Development of a list of the significant European and national bodies for standardisation and other entities involved in relevant standards developing for the identified technical areas (support of local technical partners); (4) Definition of an internal process for standards strategy and contribution development, alignment and review; (5) Implementation of the defined standardisation strategy.

Reason for applying to HSbooster.eu services

Standardisation knowledge --> Project participants have no or only little knowledge about standards and/or standardisation (knowledge that standards exist and/or minimal understanding of how standards are used).

Aspects in research level (multiple choice) --> His project’s research area is for the global market, i.e. interoperability and links to existing technologies are important to ease market access for the project’s products or technologies.

Standardisation-related aspects in research level -->They an idea for a standard, but they have difficulty to place this idea in the standardisation system (e.g. TC/WG are not interested). In addition, project’s results are relevant for existing technology/service areas within well-defined market structures and has high standardisation potential (i.e. in new standards and/or revised existing standards)
