ABSTRACT

This special session is focused on the tangible impacts and practical applications emerging from recent advancements in the digitalization of the Built Environment (BE). It goes beyond theoretical research, exploring how these technological progressions actively shape global housing solutions, enhance occupant well-being, and drive sustainable, energy-efficient building practices.

A primary focal point of discussion proposed in this session pertains to the role and application of advanced digital technologies and measurement techniques in the BE field. Specifically, the innovative aspects introduced in this scientific context revolve around data acquisition and data quality. Therefore, the pivotal role of metrology in this engineering field is to ensure integrity and high-quality data for BE digitalization.

The session further delves into the application of AI-based, data-driven methodologies in managing heterogeneous BE data. Presentations will spotlight real-life case studies where these AI-based techniques, digital tools, and measurement systems have been employed for energy profiling and forecasting, smart energy resource management, and the enhancement of occupant comfort and well-being.

Participants are invited to contribute research that illustrates the interplay between high-quality data, improved performance of data-driven services, and practical applications in BE. These insights are crucial for understanding how digitalization, supported by accurate and reliable data, is driving innovation in the BE field.

An integral part of the session is the showcase of the DigiBUILD project, an initiative funded under the Horizon Europe framework (Grant Agreement n. 101069658). DigiBUILD demonstrates the transition from isolated data management to a comprehensive, digital, and smart building infrastructure, integrating diverse data sources for high-quality digital services. This project aligns with the development of the EU-wide Digital Building Logbook, illustrating the practical application of digital transformation in the BE.
