“…In particular, an emblematic case study is identified in the building of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Bologna (Figure 2a). Built between 1932 and 1935, it is one of the first 20th-century buildings to be listed in the city and is considered a local rationalist heritage gem due to its use of industrial systems and materials, innovative finishes, and lack of decorations [31,32]. With its 19,200 sqm of net floor area and four levels, its maximum capacity amount to 5000 users (including researchers, employees, and students), with approximately 2500 students using the building during academic timetable hours 5 days a week, 11 months a year.…”

Adapting outdated building stocks’ operations to meet current environmental and economic demands poses significant challenges that, to be faced, require a shift toward digitalization in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operation sectors. Digital tools capable of acquiring, structuring, sharing, processing, and visualizing built assets’ data in the form of knowledge need to be conceptualized and developed to inform asset managers in decision-making and strategic planning. This paper explores how building information modeling and building performance simulation technologies can be integrated into digital decision support systems (DSS) to make building data accessible and usable by non-digital expert operators through user-friendly services. The method followed to develop the digital DSS is illustrated and then demonstrated with a simulation-based application conducted on the heritage case study of the Faculty of Engineering in Bologna, Italy. The analysis allows insights into the building’s energy performance at the space and hour scale and explores its relationship with the planned occupancy through a data visualization approach. In addition, the conceptualization of the DSS within a digital twin vision lays the foundations for future extensions to other technologies and data, including, for example, live sensor measurements, occupant feedback, and forecasting algorithms.
