La crescente digitalizzazione del settore dell’Architettura, Ingegneria, Costruzioni e Operazioni (AECO) ha portato allo sviluppo dei Digital Building Logbooks (DBL), strumenti essenziali per la gestione dei dati relativi agli edifici durante tutto il loro ciclo di vita. Nonostante il loro potenziale, garantire l’interoperabilità tra diversi framework DBL e integrarli con tecnologie avanzate, come Digital Twins e IoT, rimane una sfida. Questa ricerca mira a risolvere tali problemi sviluppando una piattaforma interoperabile per i DBL, che faciliti una migliore gestione dei dati e la conformità alle normative dell’Unione Europea in materia di sostenibilità ed efficienza energetica. Basandosi sulle ricerche precedenti di Martina Signorini, che ha proposto un dataset dettagliato per i DBL, questo studio espande il framework introducendo una categoria Finanza e ulteriori attributi legati agli spazi degli edifici, con l’obiettivo di migliorare il tracciamento dei costi, l’uso dell’energia e l’ottimizzazione degli spazi, oltre a supportare un processo decisionale più efficiente, la manutenzione predittiva e il monitoraggio in tempo reale degli edifici. Data la crescente pressione normativa nell’UE e l’importanza delle pratiche di costruzione sostenibili, integrare i DBL con tecnologie come Digital Twin e BIM è cruciale per migliorare l’efficienza operativa e ridurre l’impatto ambientale. Questa ricerca utilizza una metodologia di sviluppo di piattaforme web, integrando le strutture DBL esistenti con nuovi strumenti per la condivisione in tempo reale dei dati. Questa piattaforma non solo affronta le sfide attuali di interoperabilità, ma pone anche le basi per futuri progressi nella gestione dei dati degli edifici, facilitando una più ampia adozione nel settore AECO. La piattaforma è stata sviluppata e testata, ma non pienamente implementata presso il Politecnico di Milano a causa di vincoli interni. Tuttavia, il framework rappresenta un prezioso caso di studio per un’adozione più ampia nel settore AECO, con potenziale per futuri sforzi di digitalizzazione a livello industriale.

Abstract
The increasing digitalization of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) sector has led to the development of Digital Building Logbooks (DBLs), essential tools for managing building-related data throughout a building’s lifecycle. Despite their potential, ensuring interoperability between different DBL frameworks and integrating them with advanced technologies, such as Digital Twins and IoT, remains a challenge. This research seeks to address these issues by developing an interoperable platform for DBLs that facilitates better data management and compliance with European Union regulations on sustainability and energy efficiency. Building on prior research by Martina Signorini, which proposed a detailed DBL dataset, this study expands the framework by introducing a Finance category and additional attributes related to building spaces, aimed at improving cost tracking, energy use, and space optimization, as well as supporting more efficient decision-making, predictive maintenance, and real-time monitoring of buildings. Given the growing regulatory pressure in the EU and the importance of sustainable building practices, integrating DBLs with Digital Twin and BIM technologies is crucial for improving operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact. This research uses a web-based platform development methodology, integrating existing DBL structures with new tools for real-time data sharing. This platform not only addresses current interoperability challenges but also sets the foundation for future advancements in building data management, facilitating widespread adoption across the AECO sector. The platform was developed and tested but not fully implemented at Politecnico di Milano due to internal constraints. However, the framework serves as a valuable test case for broader adoption across the AECO sector, with potential for future industry-wide digitalization efforts.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
