Project description
New data-driven building management technology
Fragmented data and disjointed management tools hinder effective building operations. Siloed information and disparate systems lead to inefficiencies and missed opportunities for optimisation. Without integrated solutions, building managers struggle to achieve sustainability goals and operational excellence. In this context, the EU-funded DATAWiSE project aims to use cutting-edge AI and advanced analytics to integrate diverse data sources for a comprehensive understanding of building operations. The project will produce a Data-driven Building Performance Management toolkit and an AI-enhanced Lifecycle Data-driven Decision Support toolkit. These innovations are expected to optimise energy use, sustainability, comfort, and risk assessment in buildings. Additionally, DATAWiSE will support market and policy frameworks to encourage widespread adoption and commercialisation of these technologies.
Objective
DATAWiSE will develop and test building and building portfolio management tools, leveraging cross-sectoral lifecycle data on the basis of an open, secure, interoperable, and scalable framework. Utilizing cutting-edge artificial intelligence and advanced analytics, the methodology will integrate data from a variety of sources to provide a holistic understanding of building operations. DATAWiSE will design and implement a scalable data architecture that ensures data quality, privacy, interoperability, and sharing, and a Data Sharing Platform that will not only ensure interoperability and scalability but will also prioritize data sovereignty to secure data handling and preserve ownership control. DATAWiSE will develop: i) a Data-driven Building Performance Management (DBPM) toolkit which will harness Building Information Modeling (BIM) data in conjunction with advanced data mining techniques through a digital twin. ii) An AI-enhanced Lifecycle Data-driven Decision Support (LD2S) toolkit. This will serve as a versatile solution for well-informed decision-making across planning, renovation, and sustainability domains. Through these tools, the project will offer a suite of added-value services aimed at optimizing building management in various aspects: Electrical and Thermal Flexibility Management; AI-Powered Energy Forecasting and Optimization; Smart Sustainability & Comfort Balancing for Building Occupants; Adaptive Building Risk & Resilience Assessment; Circular Lifecycle Assessment; Predictive Maintenance; Integrated Sustainability Performance Management; Smart Readiness Assessment. Besides technological innovation, the project also incorporates a supportive market and policy framework designed to offer evidence-based pathways for widespread adoption and commercialization.
