eCO₂BIM Workflows

Linking geometry, material data, and lifecycle datasets through OpenBIM

Concept

eCO₂BIM develops integrated workflows that connect building geometry with structured material data and lifecycle assessment datasets. The goal is to embed environmental intelligence directly into the BIM process — from early design to operation.

Methodology

Geometry

Parametric and BIM-based models define spatial and quantitative structures. IFC serves as the backbone for open data exchange.

Material Data

Structured material definitions link BIM elements to environmental datasets, enabling traceable and consistent information flows.

Lifecycle Data

Integration of LCA datasets enables real-time evaluation of embodied carbon, energy use, and environmental impact across the lifecycle.

OpenBIM + IFC

Interoperable workflows based on OpenBIM standards ensure scalability, transparency, and cross-platform compatibility.

Outcome

The eCO₂BIM approach enables designers, engineers, and stakeholders to make informed decisions based on measurable environmental performance — directly within their design tools.
