Contribution of VILNIUS TECH experts
VILNIUS TECH Department of Construction Management and Real Estate in this project will apply intellectual decision support systems and emotional-physiological technologies. A common platform covering visa technologies will also be created so that all users can find everything in one place.
University experts working on this project focus on decision making, multi-criteria analysis, presentation of renovation scenarios and cost analysis.
Prof. habil. dr. Artūras Kaklauskas notes that the BIM4REN project partners really liked the university's proposals to make BIM closer to people, more reflective of the emotional, social, physiological, psychological and other needs of the population.
The significance of BIM4REN is the opportunities in the construction sector
The project develops solutions related to the opportunities relevant to the entire construction value chain provided by BIM in the renovation of old buildings to increase energy efficiency. Digital solutions are slowly penetrating the European construction sector, leaving a huge gap between theoretical, digital opportunities and on-site solutions.
The project will define renovation processes adapted to the digital context and meet the needs of the construction sector, and create an open, decentralized BIM environment that will provide a solid innovative basis for key changes. Also, methodologies, processes and practical technologies for data collection and processing, data-based design, tools and services based on a digital workflow have been developed, based on the needs and expectations of all stakeholders. The stages of the renovation process will be taken into account: data collection to describe the existing building, data processing and integration, data-based design that ensures rational choice.
By contributing to the implementation of BIM4REN, cheap or free BIM tool kits will be created for all phases of the project, which are easy to use, more powerful BIM tool kits for more complex jobs. Everything will be combined into a common platform, where the most suitable tools and services will be indicated to the potential user.
