Development of Digital Building Logbook

Tender description

Energy Saving Trust is seeking to appoint a residential building logbook company to support Energy Saving Trust in the development and piloting of a consumer-facing digital building logbook, to encourage homeowners to take action on improving the energy efficiency of their homes. Energy Saving Trust has recently joined a consortium of organisations from the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, and Netherlands interested in supporting decarbonisation, sustainability, and circularity through the advancement of digital building logbooks (DBLs). In January 2023, the consortium officially launched the Development and Demonstration of Digital Building Logbooks (Demo BLog) project, a four-year, European Commission funded project to develop and pilot new functionality and data collection, processing, and governance models in DBLs. The objective of the project is to help make Europe the first digitally-led, circular, climate neutral, and sustainable economy. Demo BLog includes six work packages, each with their own tasks, sub-tasks and deliverables to be completed by the various project partners. The project will include five DBL providers – one from each partner country. Each provider is responsible for developing, testing, and evaluating a specific type of functionality within their DBL. They will be supported by other partner organisations within the consortium (e.g., software developers, designers, data providers, think tanks, research institutes) that bring relevant knowledge, skills and experience to deliver the work package requirements.
