This 120-minute hybrid workshop consisted of several presentations on the chosen topic, specifically the challenges recognized by 4 EU projects: COGITO, BIMprove, BIM2TWIN and ASHVIN. Additionally, a small-scale sensor technology called SEMS (Simplified Emissions Measurement System) capable of rapidly measuring emission data was presented by Professor Jochen Teizer from Aarhus University, Denmark (but was edited out of the video recording at the author’s request). Overall challenges addressed during the workshop were sensing, data, people, security and privacy, process, project time overruns, project efficiency, etc.
