The Horizon Europe “BUILDCHAIN” Project Presentation: Trustworthy Building Life-Cycle Knowledge Graph for Sustainability and Energy Efficiency


Abstract


The aim of the project is to create a knowledge base as a tool for tracking all activities in the whole life cycle of buildings. As several EU directives address the sustainability, resilience, and energy efficiency of the building stock, it is mandatory to provide a market that allows the different actors to share their offers, including quality certificates and credentials, as well as to record and track all information, activities, and changes, and to use knowledge to improve sustainability.
Novel DBL-based applications will be tested in pilot projects focusing on historical buildings in critical condition and on different building classes. The project aims to increase the smartness and sustainability of the EU building stock, create new markets, and generate new value.
