Increasing green retrofits and installation of renewable technologies by SMEs through next generation, cloud-based CAD/Estimating tools to reduce UK housing carbon emissions

*寻求的资金与工业战略挑战基金、建筑业交易和建筑手册保持一致，该手册侧重于设计、施工和管理的数字化方法，以提高建筑生产力，增加可再生技术（如太阳能光伏、电动汽车充电桩、空气源热泵和废水热回收系统）的绿色改造和安装量，以实现净零；*采用数字化解决方案和自动化流程来提高建筑的生产力和可预测性*采用数字化将新的建筑技术和材料纳入项目中*在项目生命周期的早期更好地与供应链集成减少下游问题*鼓励中小企业参与*协同合作客户每年委托了100,000个房屋/扩建/小型工业项目，所有这些项目都可以通过绿色改造/安装可再生技术来减少能源消耗，同时进行其他建筑工程。我们的愿景是交付下一代以英国为导向的项目成果；基于云的集成CAD测量和估算软件工具集。这套工具可协助中小企实地调查工程项目，并订明环保改造措施，以增加现有房屋的安装数量和减少碳足迹。这些工程大部分由中小企完成。目标；它将;*对现有住宅进行快速、无技术含量的现场勘测，将绿色改造措施与其他工程同时进行*即时计算建筑成本，生成专业报价*与供应链产品/定价集成，生成准确的/可选择的投标*即时生成2D计划、3D模型和工作图纸，包括可再生能源的放置*与IFC输出（英国BIM框架目标）互操作*与施工阶段云管理集成，鼓励承包商、供应链和客户之间的合作*通过易于使用/设备独立的创新，使中小企业建筑公司能够采用数字化；虽然存在竞争对手的CAD产品，但大多数都是；*基于桌面的*耗时/需要培训*太贵*没有集成估算/管理软件来成本/管理项目（这种不集成导致预算与真正的成本赤字）。此外，尽管存在个人桌面软件，但预计2019-2022年基于云的SaaS工具采用率将增长15% (Statista Technology Market Outlook, 10/2020)，桌面软件将迅速过时。这种基于云计算的项目成果具有创新性和颠覆性，将改变中小企业的运营方式，取代现有的桌面技术。*基于云的*完全集成的CAD测量/估算*专为中小型企业设计，可在现场使用*无需培训*结合最新的建筑技术*教育和鼓励中小型企业进行绿色改造和安装可再生技术*经济实惠

* Funding sought aligns with the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, Construction Sector Deal and the Construction Playbook which focuses on digital approaches to design, construction and management to improve productivity in construction and increase green retrofits and installation volumes of Renewable Technologies such as Solar PV, EV charging points, Air Source Heat Pumps and Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems to achieve net zero by; * adopting digital solutions and automated processes to improve productivity and predictability of construction * adopting digital to incorporate new building technologies and materials into projects * better integrating with supply-chain early in project lifecycles, reducing downstream issues * encouraging SME participation * working collaboratively100,000's of houses/extensions/small industrial projects are commissioned by clients p.a. all of which could be enhanced to reduce their energy usage through green retrofit/installation of renewable technologies, concurrent with other building works.Vision;The vision is to deliver a next-generation, UK-orientated project outcome; a cloud-based integrated CAD surveying and estimating software toolset.This toolset will help SMEs on site to survey projects and specify green retrofit measures to improve installation volumes and reduce carbon footprint of existing housing stock, the bulk of which are completed by SMEs.Objectives;It will; * Enable fast, de-skilled site-based surveying of existing homes incorporating green retrofit measures concurrent to other works * Instantly calculate building costs, producing professional quotations * Integrate with supply-chain products/pricing to produce accurate/optioneered tenders * Instantly generate 2D plans, 3D models and working drawings including placement of renewables * Interoperable with IFC outputs (UK BIM Framework target) * Integrate with construction phase cloud-management, encouraging collaboration between contractors, supply-chain and clients * Empower SME building firms to adopt digital through ease of use/device independenceInnovation;Whilst competitor CAD products exist, most are; * desktop-based * time-consuming/require training * too expensive * not-integrated with estimating/management software to cost/manage projects (this non-integration causes a budget versus what it really costs deficit). * not fit for SME purpose on site * not enhanced to promote and educate on renewable technologiesFurthermore, although individual desktop softwares exist, with 15% growth in cloud-based SaaS tool adoption expected 2019-2022 (Statista Technology Market Outlook, 10/2020) desktop software will be rapidly obsolete.This cloud-based project outcome is innovative and disruptive and will alter the way SMEs operate, displacing the established desktop technology as it's; * cloud-based * fully-integrated CAD surveying/estimating * designed for SMEs to be used on site * no training required * incorporates the very latest construction technologies * educates and encourages SMEs to green retrofit and install renewable technologies * affordable
