Pilot 3 – Palazzo Poniatowsky-Guadagni in Florence

The pilot aims to test the tools developed during the project on a relevant, heritage, and strategic building in the Municipality of Florence. In particular, the pilot will demonstrate the implementation of the proposed multi-level approach to the BUILDCHAIN platform in the “Palazzo Poniatowsky-Guadagni”, a 18^th century heritage building in Florence serving today as the headquarters of the local police. All relevant information will first be collected and logged into the BUILDCHAIN platform to develop specialized BIM models. The building will be equipped with devices and sensors to monitor environmental indoor and outdoor parameters, structural parameters, traffic-induced vibrations and energy-efficient operation. Specifically, to monitor energy efficient operation in the least intrusive way, a multi-channel smart meter, smart plugs, presence/humidity/temperature sensors, switch (magnetic) sensors for doors/windows will be used. The integration of selected data (e.g. monitoring results) into the BIM model will be demonstrated using an ad-hoc module developed in the project and its visualisation in the BIM environment.
