The “WILSON” initiative stands for Distributed data modelling and federated digital tWInning for Lifecycle data-driven Sustainable OperatioN and management of buildings and districts. It is aimed at transforming the built environment through innovative, efficient, and sustainable data management techniques. This project leverages advanced technologies and management practices to provide a holistic, extensible, and decentralized approach to data management across the built environment.
Objectives
The main goal of WILSON is to enable enhanced data utilization within the built environment, ensuring interoperability with existing Building Management Systems (BMS) and Digital Twin (DT) technologies. This goal is supported by several strategic objectives:
SO1: To deliver a federated and data mesh-based solution that will operate and upgrade any existing building management system using data analytics and real-time digital twinning tools that enhance interoperability.
SO2: To optimise performance of buildings and portfolios by increasing availability of energy and environmental indicators, enhancing interoperability towards improved management strategies with a life-cycle approach
SO3: To develop a set of DT-enabled tools for better planning and management of building assets and portfolios, focused both on energy and non-energy uses, which will create new business models, financing schemes and services
SO4: To carry out validation of WILSON solutions at TRL6, before a large-scale demonstration campaign up to TRL8 at four different countries, analysing replication and ensuring replicability of results
SO5: To involve market actors and stakeholders for open and dynamic discussion for knowledge sharing and drafting recommendations for policy makers on upcoming regulatory requirements
Innovation and Progress
WILSON proposes a pioneering approach to data management that integrates key digital tools dynamically to support decentralized and interoperable data handling.
Use Cases and Pilots
WILSON will demonstrate its data management solutions through 8 use cases, a living lab in Zaragoza, Spain, and 4 large-scale pilots in diverse settings. Large-scale pilots include city renovation in Brescia, Italy; hospital efficiency in Barcelona, Spain; district maintenance in Newcastle, UK; and rural distribution in Switzerland. These examples showcase the adaptability and effectiveness of WILSON’s approaches, emphasizing their potential for scalability and replication across the built environment.
