Andalusian Housing And Rehabilitation Agency avra Tender

Prior information notice without call for competition: Research and experimental development services Description of the procurement: AVRA aims to obtain feedback from the market on the upcoming Pre-Commercial Procurement of an Artificial Intelligent tool for Near Zero Energy Industrialized Social Housing Building. AVRA needs a new advanced software tool, based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), to support the design, implementation and maintenance of modular buildings, and the industrialized construction of social housing with almost zero energy consumption.The innovation procurement project of AVRA will cover the proof of concept and evaluation of the technical feasibility and commercial potential of a modular and flexible system. The results of the project should include: - A new catalogue of industrialized construction elements and a system to manage and update it. - An expert system, based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), for industrialized modular construction design, using a knowledge base and an inference engine with machine learning functionalities. This system will allow to model buildings in BIM format and carry out simulations of advanced energy and economic systems, including the calculation of the carbon footprint throughout the entire life cycle of the building, standard compliance, return of investment and maintenance costs. This to ensure the best environmental and economic results for the promotion and construction of social housing. - A prototype and virtual pilot at the laboratory level in BIM of a nZEISHB building, to be built on a plot of land of AVRA. This prototype is unprecedented and represents a relevant advance for practice and evidence of the requirement that all new buildings have almost zero energy consumption. The tool should provide the designer, planner and those responsible for the construction with advanced simulation and optimization functionalities (rapid prototyping) that would allow early detection and correction of problems and conceptual, constructive or exploitation incidents, as well as the integration in the design stage and project schemes, patterns and modular industrialized building models for almost zero energy consumption. The results would allow AVRA to face more complex and advanced designs, in line with the new guidelines of economic, social and environmental sustainability. AVRA would thus count on the advanced technological resources necessary to confidently address the important challenge of promoting public housing in the coming years. Based on these needs, AVRA has carried out a first Preliminary Market Consultation with closure on 16 March 2021. The Final report of the Preliminary Market Consultation was completed in May 2021. The report is available in Spanish language. According to the report, it is possible to anticipate the technical and economic viability of the project and to esta
