Smart Retrofitting: A digital workflow process for building asset management

该项目将联合收割机（LIDAR）测量与时间序列室内和室外环境监测相结合，并在精确确定建筑几何和物理的基础上创建BIM风格的性能模型。它可以根据对建筑物的科学判断，对性能改进方案进行测试和排名，但成本仅为当前现场方法的一小部分，而且比远程“大数据”方法精确得多。LIDAR传感器可以检测图像上各个点的距离，使建筑物调查在几个小时内完成，而不是使用传统方法的几天或几周。它将降低成本并提高建筑测量的准确性，为建筑组合中可比的改造项目创建可复制的数字工作流程。该竞赛的主要目标是通过开发和测试可扩展的服务提案来加速向净零经济的转变。向净零的转变需要通过减少使空间适合用途所需的能源来改善建筑性能。该项目结合了环境监测和激光雷达，为能源、碳和室内空气质量（IAQ）之间的联系提供了强有力的见解。IAQ是减少能源需求和创建可扩展的净零解决方案的组成部分。最初的项目侧重于学校，创建工具来节省能源，降低成本，并提高教育部门的绩效成果。该方法可扩展并可推广到所有建筑类型。

This project makes a cost-effective, accurate, and replicable digital workflow for retrofit projects.The project will combine the LIDAR (light detection and ranging) survey with time-series indoor and outdoor environmental monitoring and create a BIM-style performance model based on precisely determining the building geometry and physics. It can test and rank performance improvement options based on a scientific determination of the building but at a fraction of the cost of current onsite approaches and far more accurately than remote 'big data' approaches.LIDAR sensors can detect the distance to various points on an image, enabling a building survey in a few hours instead of a few days or weeks using conventional methods. It will reduce the cost and improve the accuracy of a building survey to create a replicable digital workflow for retrofit projects comparable across building portfolios.The headline aim of this competition is to accelerate the shift to a net zero economy by developing and testing scalable service propositions. The shift to net zero requires improving building performance outcomes by reducing the energy needed to make a space fit for purpose. This project combines environmental monitoring and LIDAR to give powerful insights into the links between energy, carbon, and indoor air quality (IAQ). IAQ is integral to reducing energy demand and creating scalable solutions to net zero.The initial project focuses on schools, creating tools to save energy, reduce costs, and improve performance outcomes in the education sector. The approach is scalable and generalisable to all building types.
