BIM-SPEED
Increase the use of BIM methodologies in comprehensive renovations of buildings
Description
BIM-SPEED (Harmonised Building Information Speedway for Energy-Efficient Renovation) has as its main objective to seeks to increase the use of BIM methodologies in the deep renovation of buildings for energy efficiency and aims to enable all stakeholders to adopt BIM to reduce the time of deep renovation projects by at least 30% by providing them with:
- An affordable BIM cloud platform.
- A set of inter-operable BIM tools.
- Standardised procedures for As-Built data acquisition, modelling, simulation, implementation and maintenance of renovation solutions.
Objectives
- Enabling all stakeholders to adopt BIM to reduce the time of deep renovation projects by 30%.
- Providing affordable BIM cloud platform, tools and standardised procedures.
- Creating and implementing renovation solutions with guaranteed energy performance.
- 13 different residential buildings, which occupy all the types of housing that exist in Europe, will be used for the demonstration.
Actions
- To develop and validate interoperable BIM tools to support all actors in the renovation market (designers, HVAC engineers, construction firms), stakeholders (building owners, local authorities), and inhabitants.
- To define and standardise BIM-based procedures for acquiring and interpreting data from the existing buildings, as-built modelling, building energy modelling and performance analysis.
Expected results
- A cloud-based BIM platform that is open, affordable and user-friendly
- A set of inter-operable BIM tools, existing and new ones, all connected through the BIM cloud platform.
- Validate and standardise procedures for BIM-based activities throughout the whole renovation process.

Networking
Energy efficiency projects:
ENERGYGUARD
The EnergyGuard project will create an innovative test platform for artificial intelligence (AI) in the energy sector, integrating five European test centres with a green HPC infrastructure.
SIRCULAR
SIRCULAR seeks to transform the construction sector into a sustainable, low-carbon industry through decarbonisation strategies. Its main objective is to reduce carbon emissions by minimising reliance on virgin materials and exploring low-carbon alternatives, such as recycled materials.
SMARTeeSTORY
SMARTeeSTORY will create an integrated intelligent building automation and control system to monitor and optimise the energy performance of historic non-residential buildings, according to an innovative multi-domain approach (integrating the 9 domains proposed by the ISR methodology).
FoSSIS3
FoSSIS3 objective is to develop an operational Platform based on artificial intelligence to support decision-making in the energy planning process, through the characterization and estimation of the solar resources, and the development of analytics that support the strategy to improve the energy behavior of the building sector.
BuildON
BuildOn pretends to develop a generic solution and highly replicable to offer services on buildings, facilitate the integration of their systems and technologies and with it, help to construct a new generation of smart buildings.
ENFLATE
ENFLATE applies technologies on data-driven energy and non-energy services, which it will replicate in different geographies and climates, considering different consumer needs.
DIGIBUILD
DigiBUILD overview is to provide an open, interoperable, cloud-based toolbox to transform buildings from traditional `silos´ into interoperable, smarter, digital buildings based on consistent and reliable data
