This report presents the validation workshop conducted in the Netherlands by one of the live cases in the STREAMER project – Rijnstate Hospital. As agreed in the DoW (Description of Work), Rijnstate organised a first design workshop, involving multidisciplinary stakeholders, advisors and observers on March 30th, 2016. Prior to the workshop, the proposed design models (in BIM / GIS / Semantic Web format) addressing the case study are prepared. During the workshop, the preliminary design models are verified using preliminary performance simulation and assessment tools as developed in STREAMER.
The different stakeholders have been able to use the developed tools themselves and feedback was given, using feedback forms with predefined questions. This feedback gathered by the participants will be used in further developing the STREAMER tools.And these feedback will be used to communicate with STREAMER partners to reflect and if necessary re-direct the process of STREAMER developments.
A 2nd design workshop will be scheduled in 2017, when more tools will be available.
Over all the initiative of organising the design workshop was very much appreciated by the audience and an enthusiasm to participate in the 2nd workshop is also observed. This leads to a conclusion that the STREAMER design models, tools and the process are well-accepted and are seen as relevant for future practice.
