Research Project 9-2 – Data Processing and AI for Predictive and Adaptive Co-Design
DATA PROCESSING AND AI FOR PREDICTIVE AND ADAPTIVE CO-DESIGN IN PREFABRICATION AND ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION

A major challenge for the cluster's co-design approach is integrated data management across all phases of building processes. Although this challenge has been tackled from different perspectives, utilising data models and formats specific to different domains (e.g. building engineering, mechanical and plant engineering), it has not yet been overcome. The models typically represent the flow along the process chain and have limited interoperability. A broader view based on combined data from different phases and backflow of information is not well supported. This project addresses these shortcomings by creating a central data management (CDM) platform that integrates data from multiple phases of the building process, supports co-design based on artificial intelligence (AI) by jointly analysing these data, and provides data-derived feedback to various parties involved. Having defined the CDM software architecture and implemented a first co-design application in the previous project RP 9-1, we are now focusing on data integration algorithms embedded in predictive and adaptive co-design, applying AI methods to prefabrication and on-site construction.
