PART II. SECOND PHASE OF THE STUDY:
RECOMMENDATIONS OF PRIORITY
ACTIONS TO THE COMMISSION
In the previous phase of t he study, the main gaps to foster a widespread use and efficient
functioning of digital building logbook and the actions to address these gaps, have been
identified by the involved experts.
The three-step approach described in the previous chapter e nabled a well-informed c hoice
of the following three actions, worked out in detail in this part:
• [Priority Action 1] Development of a standardised approach for data collection,
data management and interoperability and its legal framework.
• [Priority Action 2] Development of guidelines for linking existing databases.
• [Priority Action 3] Launch of public funded R&I projects to further explore the
Digital Building Logbook concept and its implementation.
Following the three-step approach, the priority actions identified are therefore concrete,
sustainable and create impact to both the end users and construction sector and public
authorities. The board of experts dec ided to e xclude the act ion “Market potential study of
specific functionalities” (Action D - in red) from the list of priority European Commission
actions given that this action will need to be carried out by market actors rather than the
European Commission. The final classification of the selected actions is shown in Table 10.
Table 10: Classification of actions as a function of the score obtained.
A comprehensive assessment of each selected priority action was carried out, including:
• a set-up and roll-out plan;
• a feasibility evaluation; and
• synergies with existing EU and international initiatives.
The assessment builds further on step 1 of the threshold criteria and is based on in-house
expertise, desktop research and interviews with external experts.
