Hybrenergy
Hybrid building twins for increased energy efficiency
Start: 10.2023
End: 09.2026
Hybrenergy focuses on sustainable construction process engineering via digital building twins.
Apart from building information models and traditional construction plans, the approach integrates as-built scans, control data from the building services equipment (BSE), and sensor and environmental data. These data are merged into a common, hybrid twin model spanning all lifecycle phases of the building and used for energy simulations, BSE optimizations, and collaborative visualizations in virtual reality. The aim is to evaluate what-if scenarios for CO2-reducing construction and refurbishment measures in new buildings, but, even more importantly, in existing buildings, and translate them into specific investment recommendations. Hence, the project directly supports the energy transition in the building sector.
Role of FZI
Within the project, the FZI is working on the development of a holistic data model for the hybrid twin, as well as the processing and fusion of large heterogeneous datasets for use in simulations and visualizations.

Research focus
Sustainable Engineering and Energy
This research focus includes the research and design of sustainable IT innovations in the cross-sectional areas of energy, mobility, production, water management, and logistics. This involves developing systems that promote the ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable use of resources, and providing strategic consultancy services to companies, particularly SMEs, on their path to greater sustainability.
Funding notice:
The project Hybrenergy is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy on the basis of a resolution passed by the German Bundestag.
