BIMERR

The mission of the BIMERR project is to design and develop an ICT-enabled Renovation 4.0 toolkit comprising tools to support AEC stakeholders throughout the renovation process of existing buildings with the goal of increasing energy efficiency. It will enforce semantic interoperability among its own tools as well as with third-party ICT tools to enable seamless BIM creation and information exchange among the AEC community in an effort to boost the rapid adoption of BIM in renovating of the existing EU building stock. BIMERR focuses on 5 main objectives:

1. Facilitate the acceleration of the renovation trend to meet the EU policy objectives by demonstrating the BIMERR tools in actual renovation sites to prove their impact and providing best practice examples to the AEC community
2. Establish semantic interoperability among the diverse popular standards, formats and data models in the construction industry and reach out to standardization bodies with concrete and demonstrated proposals for linking and mapping them toward a unified way to retrieve building information
3. Develop innovative methods, techniques, and tools for the (semi-)automated creation of enhanced digital building models of existing buildings to remove one of the main barriers to renovation
4. Deliver novel renovation support tools to ease and improve the efficiency of the renovation process for all stakeholders involved
5. Promote the adoption of the BIMERR solution as renovation-enabling toolkit through intense dissemination and knowledge transfer of the project outcomes toward the targeted stakeholders, reaching out to audiences within and beyond the EU
