About this Event
This workshop aims to align researchers and industry practitioners on how to implement construction data spaces that enable interoperable, secure, and trustworthy data sharing across the built environment, specifically to support smart-building operations and circular material reuse. Participants will develop a shared understanding of reference architectures, governance and trust frameworks, semantic standards and metadata, and technical building blocks (e.g., connectors, identity and access control, consent, and data usage policies) needed to operationalize data spaces across heterogeneous stakeholder networks. Through scientific exchange and hands-on discussion of use cases, the workshop will identify implementation patterns, validation methods, and key research gaps, culminating in a set of actionable recommendations and a roadmap for piloting data-space-enabled smart buildings and closed-loop material flows.
