Infographic: New features in 5 Digital Building Logbooks
Demo-BLog is a Horizon Europe project that is testing and further developing five existing Digital Building Logbooks (DBLs) in five European countries.
The project addresses key gaps in building data availability, accessibility and usability that hinder progress towards EU goals such as climate neutrality, digitalisation and affordable housing. By promoting interoperable, user-friendly DBLs, it enables better data-driven decisions, supports renovation, energy efficiency and whole-life carbon assessments – promoting a transparent, circular and high-quality sustainable European building stock.
A clearer understanding of the data collected in the DBLs, the stakeholder needs they address, and how users can access this data more easily will improve future DBLs and help refine existing ones. This will support efforts to decarbonise the EU’s building stock in line with the 2030 climate targets.
To this end, the project is developing four new features (also known as ‘functionalities’) within the five DBLs to address key challenges faced by various stakeholders along the building and construction value chain:
- A decarbonisation roadmap
- User-centric automated renovation advice
- Multi-cycle circularity and fostering a reuse marketplace
- A platform for community-drivern decarbonisation projects
These functionalities aim to improve the usability, interoperability and practical value of the DBLs in real-world decision making.
