BIM-based toolkit for Efficient rEnovation in Buildings

Bruno Daniotti (Principal Investigator)

BIM4EEB is a European project funded under Horizon 2020 with the aim of transforming the construction sector and its energy renovation practices through an integrated ecosystem of BIM-based digital tools. The objective is to make renovation processes more efficient, faster, and more collaborative, reducing costs, time, and decision-making uncertainties.

The project develops a set of interoperable tools that support the entire intervention lifecycle of existing buildings. In particular, it develops the following tools:

During the design and planning phase, designers can rely on solutions for as-is modeling, energy analysis, and the assessment of renovation scenarios. During the execution phase, construction companies benefit from tools for site management, stakeholder coordination, and time and cost control. Service providers, in turn, can integrate data and models to deliver advanced monitoring and performance optimization solutions.

A distinctive element of BIM4EEB is the active involvement of end users—particularly in the context of social housing and private residential buildings—in the development and validation of the tools. This user-centered approach ensures solutions that effectively meet the needs of owners and facility managers, who can rely on updated digital logbooks and augmented reality applications to support informed decision-making and more conscious asset management.

The high level of modularity enables the commercial exploitation of individual tools as standalone products or services, or as part of an integrated offering addressed to AEC professionals, consulting firms, and IT operators. In this way, BIM4EEB contributes to shaping a more digital, transparent, and sustainability-oriented renovation market.
