“…On the other hand, the fragmentation of information makes it difficult to obtain a clear and accurate picture of the size of the University of Turin's real estate holdings. To solve this problem, a research project [16,29] was initiated in 2021 to create an integrated Asset Management System Application (AMS-App) that would make it possible to visualize and connect data of different types and extractions, thus transforming them into information regarding performances or the use of resources.…”

Despite the promising outcomes achieved over time in Asset Management, data accessibility, correlation, analysis, and visualization still represent challenges. The integration, readability, and interpretation of heterogeneous information by different stakeholders is a further concern, especially at the urban scale, where spatial data integration is required to correlate virtual information with the real world. The Geographic Information System (GIS) allows these connections, representing and digitizing extensive areas with significant benefits for asset analysis, management, and decision-making processes. Such benefits are central for managing large and widespread university campuses as they are comparable to small cities, covering a wide urban region and including resources highly integrated into the urban context. The paper presents how GIS integrated into Business Intelligence (BI) tools can support university Asset Management System (AMS) creation for the optimal use of resources, illustrating the University of Turin case study. The results discussion considers the relationship between the different elements of the assets and their synergy with the city. It focuses on four themes, dealing with the asset identification of buildings and resources, especially the educational ones, asset spatiotemporal evolution, and buildings’ distances for proximity analysis. The benefits achievable through the AMS, related challenges, and possible future developments are highlighted.

This research aims to identify and investigate the best digital tools to improve indoor comfort conditions and sustainability through energy efficiency enhancement in educational buildings, integrating data gathered from sensors. By leveraging an existing asset management platform that integrates Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), data from Internet of Things devices were linked to the BIM model of a test case building creating a digital shadow in order to gather real-time data on indoor conditions, including temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. The methodology enables continuous evaluation of the building’s state of usage and calls for automatic and frequent updates of data. The digital shadow can display current usage conditions and alarms when conditions exceed what is comfortable, and it allows for immediate feedback through colours based on the internal detected conditions. The platform can be used with business intelligence tools to support strategic choices and enable future innovations, including machine learning techniques to estimate building occupancy and identify any deviations from expected usage patterns. This study presents a promising workflow for creating sustainable and comfortable educational buildings, which could be replicable and scalable in the future.
