ITEA4 FireBIM

The ITEA4 FireBIM project aims to harmonize and implement the fire codes of the five participating countries in an open-source, web-based BIM platform for fire safety assessment that facilitates (inter)national fire safety documentation and compliance checking from the early design stages. By relying on state-of-the-art BIM, AI and Semantic Web technologies, the platform suggests contextual fire safety improvements to early-stage design proposals based on the relevant national, regional, and local building codes. As such, the goal of FireBIM is to develop a user-centric web-based platform to: 1. enable the collective interpretation of fire regulations in all partner countries; 2. reduce the barriers to international collaboration and fire safety design competition for Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) companies and 3. enable automated compliance checking of buildings against fire safety regulations. The project gathers 22 partners from Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and Lithuania.
