Technological solutions will include energy-reducing, -generating, and –storing options, and with user-defined criteria on resources and restrictions, will identify through new prediction algorithms when the return on investment will be realized.īy solving these problems, EnPROVE will be able to develop tools, interoperable with existing CAD or Facility Management tools, to model the energy consumption from monitored data, predict the performance of alternative scenarios and support the decision maker in finding the optimal point for the investment. These results will be tailored to the actual building itself, through automated measurements of the building usage and energy efficiency.
The EnPROVE software tools will assess the energy-efficiency impact of alternative technologies for which available investment resources can be directed and, thus, support the decision maker finding the optimised set of energy-efficient solutions to be implemented. The key hypothesis of EnPROVE is that it is possible, from adequate gathering and assessing data on how a structure performs and is being used from an energy viewpoint, to build highly accurate and specific energy consumption models relevant for prediction of alternative scenarios. The objective of EnPROVE is to develop a software model for predicting the energy consumption of a specific building, with different scenarios implementing energy-efficient technologies and control solutions, based on actual measured performance and usage data of the building itself.

GEM Team Solutions is among one of the 8 partners in the EnPROVE project. In summer of 2015 the version 1.1 was released that contained support to additional CAD systems and the possibility to manually include additional CAD systems. The PROFIS Connect software was developed for HILTI in the end of 2014 by GEM Team Solutions in cooperation with the HILTI development team of the device software. Some CAD systems have direct optimized connections, but additional CAD systems can be manually connected in a simple manner, if these provide input via the keyboard.
The total station, which is connected to the PC via the USB interface, is automatically found. The software is very easy to use as it requires almost no settings. The other way (from the total station to the CAD system) allows to locate points from the CAD system in the real environment. As an example: you start the "create walls" function in the CAD system, then you can easily draw the walls by tracing the room corners with the total station. Transferring points to the CAD system can be used for direct drawing in the CAD system using the total station. The Software allows transferring 3D points from the total station to the CAD system and sending 3D points from the CAD system to the device. The PC Software "HILTI PROFIS Connect" connects the HILTI devices Tachymeter POS 15 and Tachymeter POS 18 with CAD systems as easy as possible.
