Data-Driven Smart Buildings

OMV Head Office Building

The OMV headquarter is an existing building located in Viertel Zwei in Vienna (Austria). It consists of two wings – an 80-meter-high tower (the so-called “Hoch Zwei”) and a lower rise cuboidal volume (known as “Plus Zwei”) linked by a glass bridge. The head office currently consists of open space offices both in the Hoch Zwei and Plus Zwei buildings, while the Plus Zwei building also houses the employee restaurant, the occupational health centre, the post office and the copy centre.

Office Building

Technology Installed / Proposed

The primary purpose of this intervention was to test a building-tracking system based on the IDA ICE simulation software. This building-tracking system (currently under development) is planned to run a digital twin of the building and its services in real time. Within the running Austrian National Project Digitaler Zwilling (Digital Twin), the building-tracking system is developed and tested in the laboratory. The OMV building is used to demonstrate the system in an existing setting.

Data Availability

Data are confidential

Status

Under development, testing/commissioning (project end: beginning of 2023)

Project Aim

The goal is to create a real-time digital twin of the cooling system (for the high-rise building Hoch Zwei) and the ventilation system and heating and cooling (for one selected level of the high-rise building), which are forced into the state of the real building (building tracking) during operation.
