PART I. SUMMARY OF THE FIRST

PHASE OF THE STUDY:

CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION, STATE

OF PLAY AND GAPS ANALYSIS

During the first phase of the study, the following activities were carried out:

• [Task 5] Comprehensive stakeholder consultation activities were undertaken since

the beginning of the study. During the first phase of the study, 32 stakeholders have

been interviewed one by one; an online survey was run, to which 93 stakeholders

have responded; a webinar with 68 participants was organised; a stakeholder

meeting with 66 participants was been organised.

• [Task 1] Based on desk research and the above-mentioned stakeholder

consultations, a comprehensive conceptual definition of the Digital Building Logbook

was developed. A specific report was dedicated on this: Report 1 – Definition of the

Digital Building Logbook [1]

• [Task 2] In parallel with Task 1, 40 building logbook initiatives have been analysed,

according to a predefined template in line with the questions raised in the online

survey and in the interviews. This was the topic of a specific report: Report 2 –

Building Logbook State of Play [2].

• [Task 3] Then, following the outcomes of Tasks 5, 1 and 2, the main gaps that still

have to be addressed to ensure a widespread use and efficient functioning of Digital

Building Logbooks have been identified, and actions to address those gaps have been

proposed. This work had been anticipated by including relevant questions in the

interviews and the survey.

• [Task 4] Finally, a methodology was prepared to identify the 3 to 4 priority actions

that the European Commission could carry out or support. This identification has also

been supported by the above-mentioned stakeholder meeting.
