Project description
Innovative building platform for disaster and climate resistance
Digital predictive systems have advanced our ability to forecast the impact of disruptive climate events. However, significant areas remain vulnerable due to data limitations and the intricate nature of urban environments. Factors such as climate change, burgeoning urban populations, and inadequately prepared building stocks further compound these challenges. In this context, the EU-funded Minority Report project seeks to address these issues by developing a technology platform centred around people. This platform will integrate predictive digital technologies with robust risk assessment models, weather forecasting, building information modelling (BIM), digital twins, monitoring systems, and AI-driven behavioural models. The goal is to support the sustainable construction and renovation of urban environments, thereby enhancing climate change mitigation and disaster resilience. Implementation will initially focus on demonstration sites across three locations in the EU and the Indo-Pacific region.
Objective
Despite digital, predicative systems improving our ability to foresee the impact of disruptive climate events on our cities, the complexity of these environments, coupled with the lack of data to assess the impacts of such events, leaves large swathes of urban areas exposed to future events. These conditions are exacerbated by climate change, growing urban populations, and vulnerable, ill-equipped building stocks, designed for a shifting climate, thus not guaranteeing occupants safety and resilience of the interconnected built environment. Minority Report will develop and implement a co-creation framework, to support the delivery of a people-centric technology platform integrating: 1) innovative predictive digital technologies, 2) rigorous models (3+) for risk (including vulnerability and uncertainty) assessment and categorisation, 3) advanced weather forecasting and early warning for climate events, 4) BIM, digital twins, monitoring systems and DSS, 5) energy simulations and behavioural models based on AI (including evacuation models), 6) newly developed approaches from SSH (>20 co-creation events), 7) and deep renovation passports (3+, efficiently combining 10+ deep retrofit solutions). The final objective is to deliver the Minority Report technology platform for a functionally, sustainable circular value chain for construction and renovation of built environments, for improved climate change mitigation (heat waves, category 5 storms, wildfire) and disaster resilience (floods, earthquakes, etc.), through unprecedented environmental targets (70% Energy savings, 30% Carbon footprint reductions, 60% Environmental impact reduction). Minority Report will apply its universal co-creation framework across three demo sites representing three distinct climatic areas, situated in EU and the IndoPacific (Dublin IE, Patras GR, Wellington NZ). These demo sites share both common and local environmental and societal challenges, which enriches the proposals scope and scalability.
