This report summarizes part of the work carried out in the Task 1.1 "Typology models of the healthcare districts" (Work Package 1) investigating on criteria and methodologies to implement a taxonomy of healthcare districts focused on energy-efficient buildings morphology and features.
The scope of the report is to analyze, compare and implement approaches and methodologies to define and develop a model-based classification of hospital buildings fit to Streamer.
The taxonomy of healthcare districts and the classification of hospital buildings and spaces developed in this report will become the basis for the development of semantic BIM ‘template’ for as-built models.
With this scope the main targets of the analysis have been related to: the identification of factors that the "EeB typology models" depend on, the definition of the "energy-related features" that allow to compare different typologies and arrangements; the implementation of a methodology for classifying and labeling functional areas and spaces, compatible with and suitable for the semantic model. Thus, the report presents some possible and compatible approaches and implements some criteria for a "STREAMER approach" to typology in relation to the energy related features.
A first achievement reached in Task1.1 and explained in this report is the implementation of an approach to the typology definition that interrelates: the typological, technical, distribution and functional characteristics of each building type; the functional aggregative configurations based on the proximity and the interdependencies between spaces and functions; the energy-related features and characteristics corresponding to the different building typologies.
The results achieved on this matter include:
– the definition of five levels to be considered to build up a healthcare district within Streamer;
– a breakdown method to be applied in the implementation of the semantic BIM model.
In particular, the breakdown system has been shaped in a flexible way so to be adaptable to different arrangements of existing HD and buildings and to be integrated into operating database and management tools. Moreover, the classification and labeling method implemented introduces a set of codes and references that allow to identify the spaces through the relations between spatial, functional and energy related features.
Results achieved in Task 1.1 until now (M1 > M12) and reported in this deliverable provide inputs and generate exchange of information with the following WPs.
An exchange of information and data will be carried on with WP3 to define criteria and select parameters (related to EeB KPIs established in T3.1) for the implementation of the semantic labels to be used in the BIM model.
The breakdown of the Healthcare Districts based on the five scale levels, the labeling system and the categories of labels will provide inputs for the development of semantic design models (WP1/T1.3) and their implementation with the ontological tools developed in WP5/T5.1, for the semantic design configurator in WP6 (in particular in T6.1) and for the description and analysis of the typology models of the demonstration projects in WP7 (in particular in T7.1/T7.2/T7.3/T7.4).
