Objective

The building sector is the largest consumer of energy in Europe, accounting for nearly 40% of the total consumption (EPBD 2010/31/EU). Furthermore the 2030 European Energy [COM(2014)16Final] and Energy Roadmap 2050 [COM(2011) 885 final], strongly requires more focus on the energy efficiency on housing sector.
Finally, the Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on public procurement, requires that all member states introduce electronic means to exchange information and communication in procurement procedures.
For these reasons we believe that the integrated approach of the Net-UBIEP project, based on Building information Modelling, integrated with energy performance requirements, will be key to solve all the problems in a more effective and efficient manner.
The project proposes BIM Qualification Models integrated with energy competences, to widespread a better comprehension of energy issues along all the value chain of building industry so that both existing and new building will have better energy performances. Public Administrations, Professionals (Engineers / Architects), Technicians (Installers / Maintainers) and Tenants will be therefore involved in the Net-UBIEP activities.
The definition of the BIM Qualification Models will pass through the identification of specific energy BIM competences for each of the above target needed to implement BIM models during the whole building life cycle. During the project the “integrated” BIM Qualification Models will be validated by stakeholders thanks to the delivering of different training activities (Seminars / Classrooms Courses / E-Learning Courses) addressed to at least six BIM Professional Profiles: BIM Manager, BIM Evaluator, BIM Coordinator, BIM Expert, BIM facility manager, BIM user. Once the schemes will be validated, they will be proposed for standardization to find a broader acceptance at European and international level through regulatory organizations (CEN / ISO).

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Net-UBIEP (Network for Using BIM to Increase the Energy Performance)

Reporting period: 2017-07-03 to 2018-10-02

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

Net-UBIEP Project aims at increasing energy performance of buildings by wide spreading and strengthening the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM), during the life cycle of the building. The use of BIM will allow simulation of building energy performance using different materials and components, both to be used in the building design and/or in building design refurbishment while during the management will help to monitor the incorrect use of facilities and will facilitate the maintenance to keep the energy performance of the building at the values foreseen during the design.
To reach this aim Net-UBIEP Project sets several specific objectives, which are listed and explained hereafter.
1. Identify professional profiles involved in NZEB building sector and define specific BIM competences for each of those in order to get a repertoire of Professional competences for each phase of the building process and for any target. Four target groups, in fact, have already been selected according to the role they play in building processes, namely Public Administrations, Professionals (Engineers / Architects), Technicians (Installers / Maintainers), Tenants/Owners/Building Administrator.
2. Elaborate a three dimensional matrix for the identification of competences required to each of the above target group during the lifecycle of the building to ensure the highest energy performance. The three dimensional matrix will indicate competences needed in each construction phase: strategic definition, preparation and brief, concept design, development design, technical design, handover and close out, in use, refurbishment and eventual recycling/demolish.
3. Develop BIM Qualification Models to tackle the problem of energy competences gap in the existing buildings sector as a whole. BIM Qualification Models will be composed by a BIM Training Scheme and a BIM Qualification and/or Certification Scheme.
BIM Training scheme will be elaborated and validated through pilot training sessions with at least 1.000 professionals (500 Architects + 500 Engineers) and 1.100 technicians. 465 Public Administrations as well as 465 tenants/owners/building administrators. this activity is already started providing very good feedback.
Net-UBIEP Project will increase energy performance related competences of 6 professional figures: BIM evaluator, BIM facility manager, BIM manager, BIM coordinator, BIM expert, BIM user. Through project implementation BIM evaluators and BIM facility managers will increase their competences with energy performance (considering a 30% of female and a 70% of male). Trained BIM Managers, BIM Coordinators and BIM Experts will be able to implement BIM satisfying energy performance requirements (we count 40% of female, as they are the majority among architects, and 60% of male). BIM Users, in public and private sector, will know how to read BIM model with energy requirements (estimating 20% of female and 80% of male).
4. Standardize at European level the schemes for BIM Qualification Models through the presentation to regulatory body (CEN) of schemes for the recognition of BIM professional profiles within the CEN/BT/WG 215 “Building Information Modeling (BIM)”, which works in close relationship with ISO/TC 59/SC 13 - Organization of information about construction works. The possibility to include the qualification within existing buildingSMART qualification scheme will also be investigated.
