PILOT 1 – HOSPITAL REAL DE GRANADA – MONITORING SYSTEM
Granada, Spain – july 22, 2024 – We are pleased to announce the successful deployment of Pilot 1 of the Buildchain project at Hospital Real, part of the University of Granada. This…
BUILDCHAIN will create a scalable BIM-based decentralized knowledge platform to digitally identify, register, update, and analyze massive amounts of data related to the overall life-cycle of buildings based on Origin Trail Decentralized Knowledge Graph. The BUILDCHAIN project will design and develop its own Digital Building Logbook solution for the integration of building data and knowledge, and the inclusion of new applications and functionalities dealing with integrated information, efficiency, circularity and transparency to improve the building stock, facilitate informed decision making and its validation.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: environmental footprint calculations for building materials and elements in all life stages.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: Optimized policies and rules at a system level.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: alerts and warnings when anomalies are detected.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: sensitivity ranking of the relevant climate variables and hazards, exposure ranking, likelihood of climate hazard, safety coefficients, seismic risk indexes and seismic performance classification.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: Updated material properties, identified damages in structural parts, raw vibration data, modal vibration, structural integrity model inputs.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: updated material properties and connection properties between structural elements.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: flood depth, urban flash flood index.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: Optimal sensor configuration.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: damage levels.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: estimated costs for building elements in different project stages.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: Optimized order of renovation activities, estimation of renovation works time, estimation of users’ disruption considering both the final users of the renovation works and neighbors, as well as citizens.
Type of data produced to be logged to the DBL: Sensor/actuator activation events, demand-response signals, occupant participation to demand-response events, comfort conditions and energy consumption of the building will be recorded in the DBL.

Role in BUILDCHAIN:
Trace Labs’ main contribution will be the integration of OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) with the existing EU Digital Building LogBook system, creating a new powerful knowledge base with blockchain and artificial intelligence capabilities. The DKG will provide a tamper-proof and decentralized database that can be accessed by all parties involved in a building’s life cycle, including architects, contractors, building owners and regulators. This will help increase transparency, trust, and collaboration among all stakeholders through: connected knowledge assets as digital twins; data verification predictive maintenance and compliance and regulations.
Location: The headquarter of the company is in Genova (Italy), but RINA has over 200 offices in 70 countries.
Role in BUILDCHAIN:
RINA is involved in several activities of BUILDCHAIN. It leads Task 2.1 concerning DBL positioning, SoA and methodology, as well as WP4 (Technological Applications of DBLs), where specifically will lead Task 4.1 (concerning the development of a Deep Renovation Workflow, Management Tool), and it will participate to the development of other Technological applications. RINA will be also involved in the testing of the technological applications on the demonstration sites, specifically on the Italian demo sites located in Florence. Finally, RINA will lead Task 6.3, which will deliver guidelines for use of DBL (Guidelines for the use of the Logbook and pre-standardisation activities).
