Time series with forcing terms

Time series of an experiment where the digital twin was adapted to the measurement data using forcing terms. At the beginning of the experiment, the measured and simulated temperatures do not yet match. After that, the differences between the two values ​​are very small. See also other image showing the heat sources and sinks needed for this.

Calculated heat sources and sinks for the digital twin

Time series of an experiment where the digital twin was fitted to the measurement data using forcing terms. The graphic shows the required "Forcing Terms" = heat sources and sinks. See also the other graph with the associated measured and simulated temperatures during the experiment.

Façade office building H2

View of the facade of the H2 office building in Vienna, where a digital twin of a cooling system and a model floor was tested.

Graphic representation of a digital twin

Graphic representation of a digital twin connected to real-time metering data from a building. The digital twin runs in a cloud. With the so-called State Estimator, the simulation model is continuously adapted to the current measurement data from the building.

AR model user view

The figure shows the overlay of the BIM model with reality.

Change Detection

The images graphically show the deviations between the BIM model and reality.

Interaction menu

The figure shows the interaction menu of the AR inspection tool.

Remote-Expert-System

The figure shows the user interface of the remote expert system.

WebGL visualisation of collected building data via the Gamification App

Data, collected by our mobile game (gamification), can be interactively mapped to 3D BIM model and visualized.

Cost and time effort for the generation of Material Passports (MPv1-4)

Comparison of the costs and hours. For the Material Passports MPv1-3 high-tech methods were applied and were generated through high-tech methods. The MPv4 was compiled manually, based on 2D-drawings and standard acquisition methods.

Schematic representation of M-DAB project goals

The figure shows schematically how the M-DAB project can have a positive impact on reducing the primary resources used /increasing the amount of recycling in the construction sector by improving the data situation and the spatial location of material resources in the city.

Simulation and visualization prototype

The figure shows a screenshot of the visualization prototype with a three-dimensional map representation of the calculated quantities of building materials per district. Thereby, district base areas are extruded in height depending on the material quantities. Colors indicate the dominating material group (in this representation predominantly concrete incl. screed). The color assignment follows ÖNORM A-6240. Left of the map, the scenario editor is shown, which allows setting of demolition rates for buildings of different construction periods as well as assumptions for the future population growth and the housing demand per inhabitant. Right of the map is a detailed analysis for the 22nd district of Vienna marked on the map. A bar chart shows the material quantities per material group in tons. In the navigation bar on top of the map, scenarios from the scenario editor can be loaded and saved, and it is also possible to switch between the map view and other diagram views. Below the map is a time slider that can be used to track the calculated values of the scenarios over time between the year 2020 and the year 2050.

Floor and building area potentials (>550 m² floor area) per building block in Vienna.

This figure shows 2 choropleth maps of Vienna a) the "unused floor area potentials" in Vienna and b) building area potentials (in square meters), - unbuilt building land, each per building block. In both categories, the potentials are mainly found in the districts north of the Danube, but also in the south of Vienna and in Simmering, whereas floor area potentials can be found in the entire city area.
