Deliverables

Technical Report: Existing Models (opens in new window)

The result of T2.1, describing existing ontologies, standards, and data models in the building data domain relevant to compliance checking, including their overlaps and knowledge gaps.

BCO Ontology and Rules Format (opens in new window)

The Building Compliance Ontology describing concepts and relations required to support automated rule checking in permitting/compliance checking processes and the ruleset database (CU). A technology-neutral format describing rules in building codes in an unambiguous way using terms defined in D2.1 and other public ontologies, such as bSDD.

Technical Requirements Elicitation, Analysis and Cloud Architecture Model (opens in new window)

Documentation of the Technical Requirement Elicitation and Analysis and the Cloud Architecture Model for solutions to be developed in this WP.

ACCORD Framework and User Requirements Specification (opens in new window)

The ACCORD semantic framework and associated User Requirements Specification, including supporting modelling. Additionally, this report will document specifications for each of the project’s demonstration deployments.

Landscape Review Report (opens in new window)

The landscape review of built environment compliance and permitting, industry survey results, research gaps, potential barriers and enablers. (CU) The state-level process maps of the current compliance/permitting, the laws, regulations, guidance documents and stakeholders. (VTT)
