Bauen digital Schweiz / buildingSMART Switzerland sees the digitalization of the construction and real estate industry as one of the key prerequisites for implementing sustainability and circularity. The aim of this white paper is to provide guidance that outlines the interrelationships between the individual packages of measures and instruments. Requirements and initial solutions for digitally networked construction product data in the areas of sustainability and circularity are presented as examples. The publication is aimed at all interested parties who want to find out about current developments at national and international level.
This document does not claim to be exhaustive. It is a snapshot as at the end of 2023. It is planned to adapt this publication to the latest developments and findings in the course of 2024.
A number of other publications will deal with specific instruments or workflows in greater depth. These will address current best practice and present concrete implementations based on case studies. The following documents are planned, among others:
- Case study: Integration of PDT in bSDD using the example of timber construction
- Use case: Inventory (stocktaking / component inventory)
- Use case: Material passport with product classifications
- Use Case: Lean Deconstruction
- Whitepaper: Digitally networked building product data as the basis for circularity (Part 2)
