Holistic and optimized life-cycle integrated support for energy-efficient building design and construction

Title: Holistic and optimized life-cycle integrated support for energy-efficient building design and construction
Description: The main objective of HOLISTEEC is to design, develop, and demonstrate a BIM-based, on-the-cloud, collaborative building design software platform. The HOLISTEEC platform aims at providing advanced design support featuring multi-physical building performance simulation including energy, environment (gas emissions, etc.), acoustic, light, at building and neighbourhood levels, as well as multi-criteria design optimization.
Data Domain(s): Building Products (Including Geometry), Building Devices, Building Data, Energy, Geolocation and Weather
Objectives:

develop an innovative feedback / loop -based building design workflow
embed a multi-physical, multi-scale simulation engine
develop a BIM infrastructure integrating building, neighbourhood and external data
develop a collaborative SoA platform offering enhanced interoperability with existing design and business-specific software tools
provide innovative and flexible user interfaces

Stakeholders: Building/Facility Owner, Architect, Operations Manager, Energy Manager/Auditor, Facility Manager, Engineer HVAC, Engineer Building Energy Management System, Engineer Automation, Financial/Cost Manager, Energy Simulation Expert, Public Authorities, City Planner.
Requirements:
LD benefits:

Different data sources can be linked together at different levels including data model level, object level and variant/versions

Challenges:
Integrate both design levels neighbourhood and building
Provide a holistic view of building performances using multi-physical simulations
Assists design decisions through knowledge-based and multi-criteria design optimisation
