Both interesting ideas. The second one, a public cloud storage of design and maintenance documentation is similar to the work that Chimni is doing (and recently completed an InnovateUK funded project on) except that their project is based around the owner being the recipient and manager of asset information following construction and use this for maintenance records etc. This passport/logbook belongs ultimately to the building and remains with it when ownership changes. The difference is that this doesn’t allow for any public sharing of the data about all the buildings involved, though it would allow the homeowner to share the data with prospected buyers I imagine.
What would be the benefit of a public sharing of this data, and would that override the risks and reluctance of homeowners to share?
How might the idea apply to existing buildings, the public rented sector etc.?
Might be an idea to get Nigel Walley of Chimni involved in this discussion.https://www.chimni.net/abouthttps://www.chimni.net/chimni-innovation-grantÂ
