description: BIGG has developed the infrastructure to maintain and operate the 6 pilots, from the reference architecture to the AI based analytical tools necessary. The 6 pilots test beds were defined to cover a wide range of building data challenges including both public and private needs, which could benefit from shared developments and improvements such as a reference architecture and a common Data model, keeping in sight the differences and particular needs of each different case. Therefore, the solutions required to cover them span from harmonisation and mapping of the data to the advanced analytical solutions that calculate accurate baselines, buildings benchmarking, flexibility potential in DR events, among others. The 6 pilots are also referred as Business Cases (BC) and have been further divided into 15 Use Cases (UC) to tackle the different challenges proposed into their individual components. For example, managing a large building portfolio and its energy efficiency improvement actions, such as in BC1, required different data collection approaches (for the buildings and the improvements actions separately), mapping and changes to the Data model, which promoted to split this overall task into two different use cases.

The BIGG project was dived into 8 work packages to accomplish the defined tasks, four of them focusing on the technical development, with the pilots being the core of the WP6. The work presented in this document is the conclusion of the projects’ pilots M36, including the challenges encountered by each pilot. During the first half of the project, the work focused on setting up the different pilots (also known as Business Cases) and preparing the necessary infrastructure to measure and monitor them, as well as, defining the methodology to evaluate their progress. During the second half, the pilots have focused on implementing and testing the technical solutions provided by the technical work packages to constantly provide feedback and improve each solution.

The report starts with an introduction of the pilots work package, an overview of the progress of the cross-cutting technical components and the methodology for the evaluation of the current report.The description of the Buisiness Cases is briefly shown in section II along with the main results of each Business Case. The section presents each of the 6 Business Cases, summarising the extended descriptions provided in D6.2. The section main purpose is to present the final results of the pilots divided among the 6 Business Cases using the KPIs methodology developed. The analysis section explains the current state of each pilot, at the detail level of the individual use case, using the developed KPIs. The section also describes the challenges faced by each pilot (if there are any) in the form of limits detected and modifications of the initial data sets, either by adding new sources of information to expand the current ones or removing data sets deemed not useful or accessible due to the evolution of the pilots.

Finally, conclusions, lessons learned and future actions are included based on each partners’ interests and the results obtained.
