Tieto-ja viestintäteknologiaa hyödyntävän rakennetun ympäristön kehitysnäkymät

The built environment is a significant part of our national wealth. The built environment is the physical environment created by people. It consists of the buildings and all networks serving the flow of traffic, energy, water, waste and digital information, and the assemblies, equipment and (built) natural elements connected to them. This publication presents a review of the development trends of the built environment that utilise information and communication technology. The focus is on buildings and construction. The review is presented in the form of four change roadmaps. The ”Digital solutions” section presents the technologies related to the subject field and applied in it from the perspective of the built environment. The ”Operation methods and processes” section presents the changes required and enabled by the new technologies in the operation methods and processes. The ”Services” section presents the services enabled by digital solutions and changing operation methods and processes. The ”Meta Roadmap” encapsulates the essential ideas of the other roadmaps. The vision of development prospects in the built environment utilising information and communication technology is as follows: The technological foundation of the built environment utilising information and communication technology is based on welltimed sharing and utilising of information. Business is done through networks. This requires compatible processes and operation methods which can utilize commonly available interoperable digital information, such as, building information models and real-time information. These will fulfil the evolving needs of the user or customer and enable good usability and real-time services. Current state-of-the-art solutions for information and communication technology in the built environment are mainly separate services. Progressive demand is limited and the suppliers and exploiters of information technology in the built environment are differentiated into narrow categories. The service providers offer niche services for specific purposes. Currently there are four state-of-the-art service entities: 1) planning, construction, operation and maintenance services; 2) remote services; 3) security services and 4) new health services. At the moment, the processes used by operators do not yet correspond to the requirements of information modelling applied in the information technology of the built
