In at least five finalizing European H2020 research projects** focusing on digitization in the building industry, Linked Data technologies are actively applied to tackle well-known interoperability challenges in the sector. Naturally, this resulted in the creation of a series of technical deliverables (ontologies, data modelling patterns constraints, processes, tools, etc) with both similarities and differences between the different ongoing projects. During the workshop, each of the five projects will share their technical insights on the subject through short technical presentations. The audience might expect to get a view on the reasons for applying Linked Data, the progress made during the project and the lessons learned. At the end of the presentations a roundtable discussion will be held between the different projects to discuss how the Linked Data related outcomes of the different projects can support each other and persist through the BDTA after the independent projects have ended.

Programme
- 11.00 - Welcome and agenda presentation
Sébastien Thomas, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (P) - 11.05 - Introduction
Łukasz Wilczyński, ASM Market Research and Analysis Centre (O) - 11.10 - SEEtheSkills
Title: SEEtheSkills actions for increasing the VALUE of energy skills – BIM digital tools as the missing link between energy efficient construction and strive for upskilling
Lihnida Stojanovska-Georgievska, University Ss Cyril and Methodius (O)
Description: Having developed programmes for energy skills and training courses in place that provide certification for building professionals, is usually not enough to increase the interest in trainees and related market demand. In fact actions for increasing the value of skills are necessary. SEEtheSkills as H2020 action, supports the initiative for reinforcing the link between skills and energy quality of construction, through presenting the benefits of employing skilled workers, that will promote the value of energy skills by presenting their role in energy sustainability of buildings. A promising tool to be used are digital BIM tools, which can furthermore by using BIM modelling, propose various scenarios for reduction of performance gap with implementing corresponding energy efficiency measures.
- 11.30 - INSTRUCT
Title: Digital Technologies to Advance Energy Efficiency Trainings & Education in the Construction Sector
Irini Barbero, Cardiff University (O)
Description: The presentation will look into demonstrating the link between energy efficiency and training in the construction sector, in the EU. The main objective is to evidence the necessary prerequisites for developing digital instruments required to coordinate efforts for delivering energy efficiency education.
- 11.50 - BIM2TWIN
Title: Digital Twin Construction – A New Paradigm
Rafael Sacks, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (P)
Description: Digital Twin Construction (DTC) is a paradigm for the construction industry in which production is planned and controlled with the support of extensive data collected from the supply chains and the site which provides comprehensive situational awareness for all. In theory, better situational awareness, i.e. knowing what is happening on and off site with great detail, supports better decisions by people when it comes to making changes to the production system on site. This presentation will review the concept of DTC, explain its various components and the potential for platform businesses to emerge to manage production in projects according to DTC principles and technologies.

BIM-based model checking is an excellent demonstration of capturing knowledge about buildings while dealing with real-world data that can be partial and incomplete. How do we interpret qualitative terms such as “easy to see”, “well illuminated”, and “direct access”? How do we manage disparate building codes w.r.t large-scale building models that undergo continuous updates? Can we identify a common vocabulary to describe concerns, priorities, and rationales when designing buidings for people?
This workshop addresses these questions from both theoretical and practical perspectives and investigates the challenges and opportunities in enabling complete code checking applications for processes such as compliance audit and digital building permit approval. We do not advocate a single methodology but invite practitioners and researchers to discuss the hidden caveats and bottlenecks of current approaches, and to discover and build momentum for common points of interest.
This workshop is the first of a series of planned events destined to the future of automation in the AEC industry. One of the expected outcomes is to establish a research community and to follow up results from these workshops. We look forward to seeing you!
Target Public

Background information on SAM/SAF
SAF is an initiative from the Nemetschek Group to improve the collaboration between structural engineers by developing an open exchange format for exchanging data between structural analysis software based on the Excel format. It is focusing on a practical, easy to use, format that can be used in daily practice by structural engineers. It is meant as an open format and we look forward to you joining this initiative.
The structural analysis software participating in this initiative today are:
SCIA, Graphisoft, Allplan, RISA, FRILO, Strusoft, Axis VM, Dlubal, Sofistik, SCAD, LIRA land, Radimpex and IDEA StatiCa.
