about us
Is to create a European framework for the dataspace(s) of territories and cities that builds on the standards developed by the construction ecosystem. It ensures the adoption of a transparent data-driven approach for CO2 reduction using digital twins.
BuildingSmart:The seamless exchange of trusted information across the built environment.
Gaia-X: The vision and goal of Gaia-X is to create a secure and federated data infrastructure for Europe that meets the highest standards of digital sovereignty and promotes innovation in a transparent digital ecosystem.
• A common framework in order to have a standardization for the sharing process
• A digital way to exchange the data across organizations embedded contract in a trusted way
DataSpace is a distributed system defined by a governance framework that enables secure and trustworthy data transactions between participants while supporting trust and data sovereignty. A data space is implemented by one or more infrastructures and enables one or more use cases.
Digital Twin is a digital representation of a physical asset. Linked to each other, the physical and digital twin regularly exchange data throughout the PBOD lifecycle and use phase. Technology like AI, machine learning, sensors and IoT allow for dynamic data gathering and right-time data exchange to take place.
Construction is the second largest industrial ecosystem in the EU that should aim for a resilient, competitive, greener, and more digital ecosystem (@Transition pathway for construction 2023).
EU Green Deal pushes to reduce energy consumption in works on the territory to deliver construction renovations faster than ever before.
The EU Taxonomy sets the green transition screening criteria, and digital transformation should make it happen using the free flow of digital data.
Data sharing across construction stakeholders in the ecosystem is perceived as a critical driver (EUROPEAN DATA MARKET 2021-2023).
What’s new and innovative
Initiate development of data sharing practices for construction sustainability assessment.
Initiative for construction sustainability and sensitive data sharing practices: Construction stakeholders can seamlessly share and access data across the project’s lifecycle and sustainability data across the organizations.
OpenBIM deployment for data sharing using Gaia-X dataspace practices: Open standards, including OpenBIM and OpenGIS are a widely adopted for digital collaboration within the building’s lifecycle. To unlock these full potential we need technical specifications for a common way to define the full digital transaction, needed for interoperability between any CDE in accordance with ISO 19650 ( how to create a digital contract compliant with ISO 19650 and European regulation for the cloud) technical specifications for a common approach of information container needed for the Project information model.
A framework of specification and services (including a catalogue based on open source approach) to be used by:
• the European regulation of public procurement (European pathway) and appointing party
• the collaborative platform providers
• the cloud providers compliant with European regulation
• the appointed parties for contracting with providers (collaborative platform)
A vehicle for the governance of this framework based on the best practices of Open source, including a panel of stakeholders.
• delivering of services
• fees on these services
• subscription
• in-kind
What is the business trigger
• Digital TER-X 2050 is NOT a competition with openCDE, it’s a common framework to be added
• Twin transition is happening – the data sharing is needed for construction sustainability assessment. We need to harmonize data sharing therefore green construction dataspace and data services are needed!
• A trusted and openBIM deployed cloud data sharing governance framework is missing. It should be defined.
• The construction data – We need to maintain the feasibility of the data for the next 50+ years!
