Construction is one of the most conservative technical fields with a low rate of adoption of digital innovation and relatively
low productivity and efficiency compared to other industries. However, the present time brings a number of new requirements
and challenges that cannot be solved by traditional methods.
Thus, new technologies and procedures come to the fore, especially in the field of digitization, artificial intelligence
and/or machine learning, which will contribute to increasing efficiency and introducing innovations into processes in the
construction industry within the value chain, i.e. from the production of building materials through design, implementation,
use and operation of the building until its liquidation. Digitization in the construction industry will, among other things,
bring the required savings in energy, pollutant emissions and costs, increased quality or safety.
We participate in creating the standard of digital building models (BIM), which we use as a basis for multi-criteria analysis and optimization of buildings. We create calculation tools for building models to optimize designs in terms of energy savings or even a comprehensive assessment of building quality. We deal with concepts of digital twins, connecting digital models of buildings, their elements and automated robotic production of prefabricated building elements.
We also work with digitization in the energy sector of buildings and territorial units, where, among other things, we deal
with new generations of smart networks, management of energy distribution and supply, and flexibility. We develop algorithms
and models for predictive control of buildings and regulation of HVAC systems, including tools for automatic error detection.
We also deal with the development and application of electronic and sensor systems for building monitoring and diagnostics
of building structures and materials. We solve the possibilities of integration and use of wireless interfaces and Internet
of Things technologies for various applications in the construction industry.
In the future, we expect an ever-increasing share of automation and prefabrication in the construction industry, and due
to the complexity of modern buildings and legislative requirements, an increasing pressure on consistent and efficient work
with data. Our goal is to make maximum use of these emerging technologies and use them to support the gentle construction
and sustainable energy of buildings in Central Europe.
