Project description
Building Information Modeling (BIM) represents an integrated digital planning approach that holds the potential for significant enhancements in building energy performance. During the planning phase, this model functions as the central hub for geometric data, thermal parameters of building construction elements, energy supply systems, services, loads, and more. The IEA EBC Annex 91 project aims to:
- Integrate energy efficiency assessment and optimization as a fundamental aspect within the framework of openBIM.
- Establish the groundwork for openBIM processes and data models that offer specific advantages to different stakeholders.
- Enhance the interoperability and alignment of openBIM processes and data models, both nationally and internationally.
Additionally, as part of the project work, the Danish group will work collaboratively on a Danish case study to develop, implement, and demonstrate the solutions and tools developed in the international project in a Danish context. This will open the door for different Danish institutions, industries, planners, and authority bodies to harness the added value of openBIM and enhance the digital data carryover in construction projects in Denmark. On a holistic level, taking part in such international collaboration allows Denmark to cement its position as one of the leaders in the field of energy efficiency in buildings and promotes the digitalization of processes and the building stock.
