A Digital Logbook as an Interactive Tool to Fulfil Service Companies’ Needs and Requirements in Building Renovations

The lack of an appropriate information management along the life cycle of a construction work is one of the major issues that AEC sector is facing. The collection and exchange of information is already complex for new buildings, but it becomes even more difficult for renovations. Thus, the building logbook could have an essential role in improving the availability and quality of data for several stakeholders involved in the building process. The repository of building-related information, such as energy consumption and production or maintenance operations, is a bilateral tool to connect users and third parties. The aim of the paper is to present the digital logbook developed within BIM4EEB, an ongoing Horizon2020 project that has analysed firstly the needs and requirements necessary for its development and then it has defined its structure in order to be stored and accessed inside the BIM management system.
