Date & time:

Location:

European Convention Centre, Luxembourg

Digital building logbooks and permit processes have the potential to make the building permit application process in municipalities more efficient, faster and more transparent. They also allow for more accurate planning and efficient use of resources, reducing waste and improving energy management in buildings. On the other hand, there are several challenges. The initial set-up costs of digital building permits and logbooks, including software development, hardware installation and staff training, can be significant. Concerns about data security and privacy can arise from storing sensitive building data in digital format. Resistance to change and lack of familiarity with digital tools among building control, permit applicants and management staff can also hinder user adoption.

This workshop aims to create a common understanding of how digital building permit and logbook processes can contribute to economic, environmental and social sustainability. The workshop will bring together stakeholders to share knowledge and co-create a common understanding of the challenges and opportunities of digital building permits and logbook processes for sustainability. The workshop will be divided into two parts. The first part will include presentations from the ACCORD, DigiChecks, CHEK, Demo Blog projects, the European Network for Digital Building Permits (EUnet4DBP) and MSCA-DRF projects with an opportunity for questions from the audience. The second part will be an interactive workshop on the challenges and opportunities of digital building logbooks and building permit processes, addressing user perspectives on their contribution to sustainability and the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for Life Cycle Assessment.
