Smart BEAR: Redefining Energy Efficiency in Construction

The Smart BEAR initiative, led by EUPHYIA-Tech, is an innovative project recognized as one of the winners of the first Sustain EuroCluster Open Call. This groundbreaking project addresses key challenges in the construction industry, particularly in streamlining stakeholder communication and decision-making. By integrating Smart Readiness Indicators (SRI) with Virtual Reality (VR) and Building Information Modeling (BIM), Smart BEAR offers an interactive, efficient platform for visualizing sustainable building upgrades. The project provides an intuitive way for stakeholders to evaluate potential improvements, fostering clearer collaboration and supporting sustainability-focused decision-making.

A standout feature of Smart BEAR is its VR-based integration with SRI, which creates an immersive environment where users can explore various building upgrade scenarios. Supported by BIM, this approach organizes all relevant data, minimizing errors and expediting project timelines. The VR-enhanced visualization empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions on energy efficiency and sustainability, all while meeting regulatory standards.

With EUPHYIA-Tech at the helm, Smart BEAR is setting a new benchmark for sustainable building technology and industry collaboration. This project not only promotes energy efficiency but also aligns with the construction sector’s increasing focus on smart building solutions. The integration of SRI criteria enables building managers to assess and improve their building’s readiness for future technologies, positioning them competitively in a sustainability-driven market. As the project advances, Smart BEAR promises to push further boundaries, leading the way for smarter, greener buildings across the industry.
