BIM2IndiLight – Universität Innsbruck

K-Regio call for tenders 2017 - BIM2IndiLight - Building Information Modelling to Individual Light

Project manager overall project: Rainer Pfluger

Project manager University of Innsbruck: Rainer Pfluger

Project staff: Josef Miller, Daniel Plörer, Vincent van Karsbergen, Juan Pablo Stumpf

Project partner:

  • Bartenbach GmbH
  • ATP Planungs GmbH
  • Hella Sonnen- und Wetterschutztechnik GmbH
  • University of Innsbruck

Funding body: Standortagentur Tirol - The K-Regio programme is co-financed from the funds of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)

Duration: 01.10.2018 - 31.09.2021 (has been extended)

Summary of the programme

In order to strengthen the long-term and sustainable competitiveness of the Tyrolean construction industry, it is necessary to actively contribute to the highly dynamic international development in the digitalisation of the construction industry through innovative strength and future-proof products and services. Tyrol plays a pioneering role here, which is to be continued and strengthened with BIM2IndiLight. The thematic focus on comfort, overall energy efficiency and lighting in BIM-based planning and subsequent commissioning addresses the most current goals with a high degree of innovation.
The aim of the BIM2IndiLight project is therefore to expand industrial research into the necessary data structures and tools for the integral BIM planning process to include the lighting technology area and thus enable coupled lighting and thermal calculation in the early planning phase. On this basis, the foundations are also to be laid for optimised individual lighting at the workplace, both in terms of daylight and artificial light.

Activities in the overall project

All necessary lighting technology parameters (and the associated thermal and building physics parameters) are to be identified, integrated into the feature server and made available for BIM in practice in future. Development of expertise for refurbishment solutions for smaller buildings.
Research and develop the necessary interfaces between the BIM model and the coupled dynamic calculation as well as their systematics.
Based on the information from the BIM project, suitable control and regulation algorithms are to be found for the future realisation of optimised individual lighting at the workplace, which meet the sometimes contradictory requirements for glare-free lighting, high daylight autonomy, avoidance of summer overheating and optimised efficient use of artificial light as well as possible.
Strengthening international competitiveness as part of the digitalisation of the construction industry.

Main tasks at the University of Innsbruck

The applicant (UIBK) deals with holistic energy efficiency in buildings as part of its research activities. The successful implementation of the project will further expand the expertise in the areas of coupled thermal and lighting simulation as well as efficient lighting in the daylight and artificial light range.
The data models, interfaces and methods developed will enable the research partner UIBK EEB to calculate the future energy, ecological and economic savings potential of innovative lighting systems and their control in overall supply systems of buildings and/or flats. The results lead to important findings for the impact on technical building equipment and will be integrated into the processing of future research questions and university teaching.
