This IIG focuses on existing developments, initiated by Ruben Santos on his PhD thesis (supervised by António Aguiar Costa and José Silvestre). The original work created a plugin for Revit to calculate the LCA of a building.
Several scientific articles were written on this subject. The objective is to improve the work already done and develop an optimization design tool, which will be able to assist the designer in achieving a more efficient solution.
Main Activities (ongoing)
- BIM objects and systems modelling
- BIM product data templates
- LCA/Circularity structured database
- Optimization tools development
