BUILDCHAIN EU

A BIM-integrated LCA module that calculates environmental impacts of buildings, including embodied carbon and end-of-life scenarios. It connects LCA databases (e.g. Ecoinvent, Ökobaudat) with BIM models via the BEXEL platform, visualizing results within the model. This allows designers and managers to prioritize repairs, reduce carbon footprint, and enable circular economy Read more

A real-time digital twin platform for monitoring the structural integrity of buildings. Machine Learning models process SHM and IoT data to detect anomalies, predict degradation, and update Finite Element (FE) models. The hybrid digital twin improves seismic and structural resilience, enabling early-warning systems and data-driven maintenance strategies. For more information Read more

A building energy optimization framework that integrates a Digital Twin, a user application, the decentralized oracle network and behavioural incentives to enhance energy efficiency. It leverages real-time and historical data to predict and optimize energy use, supports occupant engagement through an interactive interface, and promotes energy-conscious behaviours via alerts and Read more

An integration layer that connects DBL data directly to BIM models via APIs. The BEXEL Manager platform will allow users to import, visualize, and analyse DBL data within BIM environments, linking information to model elements. REST APIs enable cloud-based data exchange, supporting collaborative decision-making and multi-criteria analysis in design, renovation, Read more

An AI-powered modelling framework that facilitates the creation of multi-resolution BIM/HBIM models for existing buildings, particularly heritage assets, for integration in the DBLs. It combines four specialized sub-modules that tackle key challenges in the digitization and visualization of built environments: i) the transformation of unstructured point clouds obtained from non-invasive Read more

A web-based Renovation Disruption Simulation Tool designed for use in the preliminary planning phases of deep renovation projects. It simulates renovation activities and timelines, assessing user disruption across four key dimensions. The tool generates structured disruption reports in JSON format, which are published as Knowledge Assets within the BUILDCHAIN UI Read more
