ExpectedOutcome:
Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
Relevant indicators and metrics, with baseline values, should be clearly stated in the proposal.
Scope:There is a need to demonstrate and realise the potential benefits of using digital depositories of information that accompany buildings throughout their lifecycle. These digital building logbooks (DBL) can potentially result in greater efficiency, circularity and transparency in the building stock. DBLs should also improve decision making for all actors along the lifecycle of the building, thereby facilitating better design choices and greater sustainability, contributing in this way to the New European Bauhaus initiative.
Proposals should:
The DBL “features” (e.g. digital interface, data syncing, etc.) and "functionalities” (services built around the DBL) should prioritise user-friendliness and a smart interface for end-users. Proposals are expected to demonstrate a “modular and layered” structure for the DBL, developing additional functionalities as extensions to the national schemes, ensuring that it is flexible enough to make the right information available to the right actor at the right time.
Proposals should take into account User eXperience (UX) principles in order to stimulate the update of the building logbook and its use by construction professionals and building owners.
Proposals should ensure that the functionalities offered by DBL and the corresponding benefits are easily understood by construction and building professionals as well as building owners. Proposals should take into account issues of accessibility and inclusivity, such as age, gender, disability, and socio-economic background.
Proposals may address the DBL to any or all types of buildings and infrastructures as appropriate.
Proposals submitted under this topic should include a business case and exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination.
Finally, proposals should provide contributions to relevant standards and seek to ensure synergies with the Horizon Europe ‘Built4People’ co-programmed Partnership.
Specific Topic Conditions:Activities are expected to start at TRL 5 and achieve TRL 7 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
