Simulation, tests and digitisation for Construction 4.0
The sub-project represents the fulfilment of the architecture and design, simulation and testing and diagnostics and digitisation activity groups. The project focuses on both new buildings and renovations. All research activities have been designed by the industrial partners taking into account both their needs and the capabilities of the academic partners. The priority in architecture, design, simulation and testing is to achieve a better match between design and reality. To this end, a simple building will be constructed on the UCEEB campus to investigate the performance of façade elements. From the outside, the facade structures will be exposed to natural weathering. Inside, it will then be possible to actively maintain the prescribed indoor environment. In the area of digitalisation, this is mainly about a higher degree of automation and recognition when scanning the interior of existing buildings and then using it in BIM. It is about the use of BIM technology in the design of renovations. Unlike new builds, this area is still under-researched. Another area is to use virtual reality to simulate the future use of a property, its layout, installation of technology, furniture and other equipment. A multidisciplinary team consisting of representatives of the industrial partner, builders and computer scientists will identify common principles in the creation of a model enabling subsequent use in construction documentation and BIM, hires-rendering photorealistic outputs, but also in VR/AR devices with limited computing power.
The sub-project was extended in December 2020 until the end of 2022. As part of the extension, the project was extended with new activities and deliverables. At the same time as the extension, Skanska a.s. withdrew from the project and TKP geo s.r.o. became the new partner from the beginning of 2021.
