BIM and Energy Efficient Retrofitting in School Buildings
Energy Procedia, 2015 AbstractThe aim of the research project presented in this paper is to experiment actions to improve the existing school building management and maintenance through a technological and process innovation based on the Building Information Modeling (BIM). In the field of refurbishment and reuse of existing buildings, some of the most sensible and specific
