The Hungarian pilot project has launched the comprehensive refurbishment of an existing social housing building, demonstrating how sustainability, digitalization, and smart design can work hand in hand.

Following the approval of the townscape review plan by the chief architect of the Municipality, the project moved into an in-depth technical phase. Detailed site surveys and condition assessments were completed, alongside Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) calculations, energy performance simulations, smartification analysis, and the development of a full BIM model of the demo building.

A thorough Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and circularity analysis were carried out for both the façade and the heating-cooling systems, covering production, construction, operation, and end-of-life stages. These results have actively shaped the renovation design and will continue to guide installation and long-term operation.

BIM has played a central role in the detailed design of value-added renovation stages, including the precise dimensioning of the VRV system and the façade-integrated photovoltaic system. All necessary permits have been secured.

On site, auxiliary works are already underway: old windows are being replaced, the foundations for the VRV external units are complete, and the new thermal insulation system details are finalized.
