INFORMATION MATERIALS
Information Materials for Public Administration
- Exclusive summary: The Public Administration is the authority who disciplines, supervises and approves the main activities of the Building Life Cycle, controlling the respect of national regulatory and legislative requirements and supervising contracts between privates. If the commitment is public, the authority quantifies and identifies needs at the beginning and stipulates contracts with professionals and technicians after the public tender. In the end of the cycle it supervises recycling and disposal of the waste. Focusing on the energy aspects, the Public Administration is the entity, which provides rules for NZEB both in the case of new buildings as well as for the refurbishment of the existing one. Regional and Local technical officers are responsible for controlling the respect of national regulatory and legislative requirements in the field of energy performances for the constructions and the materials used.
Information materials for technicians
- Exclusive summary: The majority of technicians are potentially ready for the “digital revolution” because they only need to use their mobile devises or tablets but they lack the familiarity with the BIM nomenclature and they are not aware of the importance of the correct information management during the construction to be used for the management of the building. In general, they will not need to be equipped with special software but they will need to be equipped with free BIM software to visualize the model and have access to the different requirements established by designers and end users. They will also need to communicate any change occurred to the building during installation and/or maintenance. Focusing on the energy aspects, the technicians have to know the best solutions for NZEB both in the case of new buildings as well as for the refurbishment of the existing one. They need to know the national regulatory and legislative requirements for NZEB. In particular they need to know very well the technical standards related to the technology they are installing.
Information materials for owners
- Exclusive summary: The majority of owner of building do not know the advantages of BIM for the management and the maintenance of the building, which could bring, to reduce up to 40% of the maintenance costs and ensure the energy performance required to the designers. Very often they have superficial test of the building plants and do not evaluate the real energy costs in the lifetime of the building. Potentially, the BIM 7D model could provide them a simple tool to analyze the energy consumption and also to manage the ordinary and extraordinary cost with much reduced costs. In order to achieve this advantage, they have to learn how to define their requirements and how to control that those requirements are met. Therefore, they need to acquire the right competences to have all the process under their control as they are paying not only for the real building but also for the “virtual building” completed with all the information they need to manage the building during all its lifecycle.
Information materials for professionals
- Exclusive summary: Focusing on the energy aspects, the engineers and architects, need to be prepared for NZEB both in the case of new buildings as well as for the refurbishment of the existing one. To achieve this important result, they need not only to respect national, regional, local legislation, but they need to change their perspective and design and construct keeping the “end in mind”. This means that they need to consider, from the beginning of the project, the requirements of the final users in relation to the energy performance and building comfort during the lifecycle of the project. They also need to consider the maintenance requirements and information during the life cycle of the building and its components/equipment.
REPORT
Report on existing BIM professional profiles
- Exclusive summary: Despite the European law on public procurement (2014/24/EU) BIM implementation is progressing at different speed within European countries. The starting point for the definition of BIM professional profiles is the harmonisation of different national efforts that have already been made on BIM. This will be done by inventorying, comparing and discussing already available profiles. Within this process the EQF methodology will be used to clearly identify knowledge, skills and competences and to create common profiles. Those will be used during the first part of the project for the identification of energy related requirements of the four target groups. Partners with previous experiences with BIM will work to collect and harmonise all the effort that have already been made in defining BIM Professional Figures at European level. According to the results obtained they will identify BIM Professional Profiles. Partners from BUS side worked jointly to support BIM partner with the application of EQF methodology in BIM Professional Figures.
Report on Roles of Target Groups in the Building Life Cycle and their role in NZEB implementation
- Exclusive summary: This report describes the identification of the target groups and their role in BIM. Each role of each actor is identified in the construction workflow and focused on energy aspects. Four types of actors are considered in this context as having a relevant role in the building sector: Public Administrations, Professionals (Architects- Engineers),Technician (Installers-Maintainers),Tenants/Owners/Building Administrators.
First report on CEN existing standards
- Exclusive summary: This deliverable has been the basis for the development of standardized schemas for BIM energy performance competences as well as for the definition of recommended practices for PA, owners and facility managers of buildings. In order to capitalize at European level, the work done in the project will be proposed at CEN TC 442 dealing with BIM in order to propose an EN standard for the qualification of BIM professional experts in energy performance of buildings. This document constitutes the basis for the proposal of qualification and certification work, and summarizes the existing standards in the European standardization landscape.
Report on CEN existing standards and standardization landscape
- Exclusive summary: This deliverable contributed for the development of standardized schemas for BIM energy performance competences as well as for the definition of recommended practices for PA, owners and facility managers of buildings. In order to capitalize at European level, the work done in the project will be proposed at CEN TC 442 dealing with BIM in order to propose an EN standard for the qualification of BIM professional experts in energy performance of buildings. This document constitutes the basis for the proposal of qualification and certification work, and summarizes the existing standards in the European standardization landscape.
- Exclusive summary: The goal of this report is to provide an overview of the E-learning Courses for Technicians. Nowadays it is possible to visualize the BIM model on a tablet. The installers and workers will need to learn how to use the BIM viewer instead of the 2D design and need also to learn how to point out the inconsistencies between the “as built” and the “as planned”. Validation of BIM Qualification Models and training materials was implemented in each partner country by the partners with more experience in training activities such as Universities and Training Centres. Mainly one partner per country organised and performed training, and these were as follows: ENEA (IT), FLC (ES), TUT (EE), FCE (HR), Dig.Con. (LT), ISSO (NL), ViaEU (SK). E-learning contents was uploaded on the e-learning platforms (Moodle and ENEA e-learn) and were developed in national languages Croatian, Dutch, Estonian, Italian, Latvian, Slovak, Spanish. Validation of training material and assessment for Installers and Workers on how to use BIM for the energy performance was realised through an E-learning course.
EFFICIENCY ENERGY AND BIM COMPETENCES
Maps on NZEB and BIM competences for target groups
- Exclusive summary: the purpose of the deliverable is to connect the harmonization of existing BIM profiles in accordance to EQF methodology with the identification of the target groups and their role in BIM
Draft for the standardization of training scheme
- Exclusive summary: Net-UBIEP aims at increasing energy performance of buildings by wide-spreading and strengthening the use of BIM, during the life cycle of the building. The use of BIM will allow to simulate the energy performance of the building using different materials and components, both to be used in the building design and/or in building design refurbishment. Each technician, public officer, designer, constructor, facility manager, supplier, etc., will have to understand which information they manage that could be used by any other individual during the life time of a building which goes far behind the duration of the computer who has generated it. Therefore it is important that all the different targets use the same language, the same dictionary and the same data structure. The Net-UBIEP project will reach all of them providing the motivation for implementing BIM for the advantage of all. The expected results will be different BIM Qualification Models to tackle the problem of energy competences gap in the existing buildings sector as a whole. Each BIM Qualification Model will be composed by a BIM Training Scheme and a BIM Qualification and Certification Scheme.
