HBIM Modelling for the Architectural Valorisation via a Maintenance Digital Eco-system

A novel HBIM (Horizontal Building Information Modeling) methodology has been developed and validated for the architectural valorization of heritage sites, specifically applied to the Peace Center in Bethlehem. This approach integrates SLAM-TLS (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping - Terrestrial Laser Scanning) digital surveys with a federated sub-model system, enabling geo-referenced data repository creation for optimized maintenance operations. The study, part of the 'SMART Bethlehem' project, demonstrates how recursive ECO-Systemic workflows—comprising five key steps from 3D scanning to architectural modeling and level-of-information enhancement—can support sustainable urban development and energy optimization in historically significant buildings near UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Church of the Nativity. The methodology offers a scalable framework for preserving cultural heritage while addressing operational challenges.
