BIMERR is related to the Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its main target are stakeholders from the AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction) field. The project has the intention to design and develop a new toolkit to support renovation stakeholders during the renovation process of existing buildings, from concept to delivery.
It should comprise of various tools:
- An automated creation of enhanced building information models
- A renovation decision support system to aid the designer in exploring available renovation options through an accurate estimation of renovation impact on building performance
- A process management tool which will optimize the design and on-site construction process toward optimal coordination and minimization of renovation time and cost.
- Finally, the project is about an interoperability framework among BIMERR tools as well as with third-party legacy ICT tools in order to enable seamless BIM creation and information exchange among AEC stakeholders in an effort to enhance the rapid adoption of BIM in the renovation of the existing building stock in the EU countries, as a start.
About the project:
Building Information Modelling is a critical element in the digitalization of the construction industry, which is necessary in order to unleash huge efficiency and productivity improvements. BIMERR will design and develop a Renovation 4.0 toolkit which will comprise tools to support renovation stakeholders throughout the renovation process of existing buildings, from project conception to delivery. It comprises tools for the automated creation of enhanced building information models, a renovation decision support system to aid the designer in exploring available renovation options through an the accurate estimation of renovation impact on building performance as well as a process management tool that will optimize the design and on-site construction process toward optimal coordination and minimization of renovation time and cost.
