The key results beyond state of the are are summarized below:
BUILDSPACE Core platform (KER2): The BUILDSPACE platform distinguishes itself with several unique value propositions tailored to enhance urban climate resilience and sustainability. The platform’s strength lies in its ability to provide unified access to heterogeneous data sources, including Copernicus and EGNSS, through a common API, streamlining the process for urban planners and decision-makers. With its cloud-native, open-source architecture, the platform is flexible and scalable, capable of supporting a wide range of added-value services.
Building Scale services (KER3, KER4): Building-scale services provide a unique value proposition by offering user-friendly applications and viewers with intuitive color schemes, making complex building assessments accessible to a wide range of users. These tools offer detailed information on critical areas of the building envelope, helping both personal and commercial users better understand potential issues. By delivering reliable thermal and RGB data on the condition of building envelopes, users gain actionable insights to enhance energy efficiency and maintenance planning.
Additionally, the services provide accurate geometric information, ensuring precise modelling of existing assets, which is crucial for rehabilitation and modernization projects. The automatic solution for point cloud processing further simplifies the workflow, making it easier for users to process large datasets without extensive manual effort. These features make the services not only practical but also empowering, allowing customers to make informed, data-driven decisions about their buildings with ease and confidence.
City scale services (KER5, KER6, KER7): The city-scale services offer a unique value proposition by providing highly accessible, user-friendly tools that simplify complex urban resilience planning for a wide range of users. These services are designed with intuitive interfaces, featuring colour-coded maps and easy-to-navigate buttons, making them approachable for both experts and non-experts alike. They also include additional explanations tailored for users who may not have technical expertise but are still interested in understanding and utilising the data. Moreover, the tools deliver reliable and actionable insights through trustable models based on robust data, ensuring that urban planners and decision-makers can confidently use the information to make informed decisions. The services offer diverse visualisations, including exportable reports and illustrative graphics, which can be easily integrated into strategic documents or presentations. Additionally, the ability to assess both current and future climate scenarios and identify hotspots for prioritising interventions makes these tools essential for creating comprehensive and forward-looking urban climate strategies. In essence, the city-scale services empower cities with the tools they need to navigate the challenges of climate change with clarity and confidence.
