Validates data exchange protocols in district data models, suggesting enhanced interoperability.
This report is an account of the work done in Task 2.4 “Data repository prototype deployment and validation” concerning the data repositories deployment documented in Deliverable D2.4 “District Data Model repository”. Validation tests that have been carried out in two parts. One part has been aimed at ensuring the functionalities and robustness of the five data repositories included in the OptEEmAL platform: BIM repository, City repository, Context repository, ECM repository and Project repository. The platform includes modules and components to facilitate the data exchange between the various input data sources (BIM and GIS models, climate, social, economic, etc.) and the data generated by the platform in the process of calculating the optimized solutions for the refurbishment projects using various tools (EnergyPlus, Nest, CitySim and other tools that may be needed in the future) to carry out different types of simulations. Once the various functionalities were in place, a validation process was conducted to verify them. The second part of the validation tests reported in this document have been carried out in the Data Management Module (DMM). This is a key component designed to ensure the interoperability between input data sources and simulation tools in the OptEEmAL platform. It integrates the data from different input sources in the District Data Model (DDM). This integration requires several tools to generate data at each step of the process. A set of tools has been developed to carry out the verification and validation of the data at each step.
