ACCEPT - Assistant for Quality Check during Construction Execution Processes for Energy-efficienT buildings
The better energy-efficient building components of today have one major flaw: The loss of efficiency through improper usage during the building process can be dramatic. ACCEPT will ensure the proper usage of the components during the building process with the help of Smart Glasses (Optical Head Mounted Displays, e.g. Google Glass or Epson Moverio ). The Smart Glasses will unobtrusively provide the workers on site with guidelines exactly when needed, while common methodologies - defined by the site manager - for all workers can be incorporated to standardize and coordinate the overall working activities.
ACCEPT is focused on the following very clear main results:
The Construction Operator Assistant App (CoOpApp) running on Smart Glasses, which passively collects data and actively provides guidance to the worker on site during the building process. (Pillar I: Advanced Knowledge Transfer for Energy-efficient Construction)
A Site Manager App (SiMaApp) running on a mobile device, which allows to remotely coordinate the working process as well as collect additional data on site by different sensors. (Pillar II: Agile Project Coordination for Bridging Heterogeneity)
An interactive web-based Dashboard as a monitoring and quality assurance solution. The Dashboard will use self-inspection methods to determine important characteristics such as U-Values. (Pillar III: Adaptive Quality Assurance with Self-Inspection Features)
