These tools make it possible to create a virtual model of a building, linked to an immense database that parameterises all the implemented construction materials, Technologies and building services of a building. The virtual design can be linked to climate parameters of a specific geographic location on the one hand, as well as occupancy parameters for each room on the other. • SMART BUILDING – Energy efficiency requirements are radically increasing across the entire construction sector. This is meant to lead to achieving the „near-zero energy building” standard in the next few years. Buildings that feature such a high energy effectiveness will have to include an entire array of innovative architectural, structural and building services solutions that significantly differ from the typical ones in use today.
