BuildON

Affordable and digital solutions to Build the next generation of smart buildings

Description

BuildON aims to develop a generic solution and highly replicable to offer services on buildings, facilitate the integration of their systems and technologies and with it, help build the next generation of smart buildings.

To this end, a smart transformation toolbox will be offered and demonstrated with the aim of improveing the energy performance of buildings. This solution will be applicable in a wide range of buildings typologies with different levels of smart readiness. This toolbox will offer:

  • Affordable, adaptable and close to the market to monitor, assess, predict and continuously optimise building performance based on the SRI (Smart Readiness Indicator) philosophy.
  • An interoperability framework for data exchange.
  • Digital Twins for simulation and optimal control of the building and its systems.
  • Decision support and user empowerment tools for occupants and facility managers.

Objectives

    • Deliver tools to inform, engage and empower users to support decision making and improve energy use.
    • Provide an interoperability framework that facilitates the integration of energy systems, communications and other building assets.
    • Implement configurable and interoperable Digital Twins to improve planning and achieve energy efficient and optimised operation.
    • Offer and demonstrate AI-based services to monitor, assess and predict.
    • Develop and deploy intelligent automation and control services to optimise building performance.

Actions

  • Development of analytical services to assess the energy performance of the building.
  • Development of optimal control algorithms to improve energy efficiency in the management of the building´s thermal resources.
  • Development of optimal control algorithms for the application of electrical flexibility management strategies.
  • Generation of Digital Twins for the simulation and optimal control of the building.
  • Collaboration with European projects and initiatives for the search for synergies and knowledge exchange.

Expected Results

  • Analytical services to assess building energy performance
  • Optimal control algorithms for improving energy efficiency in building thermal management.
  • Optimal control algorithms for the implementation of electrical flexibility management strategies.
  • Digital Twin for simulation and optimal control of buildings.
  • Joint knowledge exchange campaigns and contribution to existing working groups at European level.

R&D Line

  • Implementation of digital enablers technologies for the improvement of sustainability and intelligence of buildings.
