Material Passports (MP) enable a combined assessment of life cycle assessments (LCA) and circularity assessment of buildings. Semantically rich models, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), facilitate deriving consistent and automated quantity take-offs of the relevant components for calculating whole building life cycle assessment (LCA). Nevertheless, for automating the BIM-based LCA and circularity assessment processes,

Development of a method for the automatic generation of a semantically enriched 3D building model for the determination of components and materials. The refurbishment of the building sector plays a central role in achieving the climate targets in Germany and Europe. According to Dena, in addition to the residential sector, the heterogeneous non-residential building stock

To achieve the global targets of the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming, it is necessary to reduce the operational energy of buildings, which are responsible for around 30% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Building Energy Performance Simulation (BEPS) is an established method to estimate the building’s energy demand in early design stages. Building

In this project, we propose the fully automated method outlined above and validate it with the help of several complex pilot projects. Existing software tools, including CAALA, are used to calculate the life cycle costs and life cycle assessment of renovation scenarios, thus ensuring practical implementation. The point clouds of the pilot projects are translated
