Prof. Flavio Rosa, ISS Coordinator, notes that "The building sector, with 40%, is the largest end-energy user. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have been identified to play an important role in reducing energy intensity and increasing the energy efficiency of the building stock. The building process is in rapid and considerable transformation given the entry of BIM (Building Information Modeling) which is greatly modifying its workflow. These transformations are in place both at the level of energy planning on the urban scale and at the level of the single housing unit. The concept of Smart Cities has dramatically changed reading and urban planning. (…) The urban scale, with GIS (Geographic Information System) and BIM tools for the single housing unit, infrastructures a highly interconnected workflow, flow of data and information. The amount of information to be processed must be managed with ICT methodologies and solutions". Professor Rosa expresses his gratitude to Sapienza colleagues including Professor Laura Ricci, Director of the DPDTA, who "conceived to train students all over the world on a subject as yet unexplored" - so Prof. Rosa.
IUC Asia Team Leader Pablo Gándara states that "Within the IUC Asia project, we have involved many cities from China and the European Union, with Rome as a great example of commitment and excellence. We have promoted together a multi-stakeholder approach involving public authorities, the research community and the business sector. I am happy to see that - since the very beginning of Rome's IUC participation - Sapienza University has taken a leading role in this ‘triple-helix' approach. The summer school on BIM and GIS is a remarkable pilot project that has delivered deep insights into urban planning, which is the base for achieving sustainable urban development. I am delighted to have seen such a wide range of applications for digital tools like BIM and GIS in the planning and construction processes, which may enable cities' experts to achieve higher levels of energy efficiency and protect architectural heritage in China and Europe".

Prof. Marco Casini, Scientific Director of the International Summer School (ISS), states "Massive changes are occurring as a result of the possibilities created by the synergic use over the entire life cycle of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) in design at building and urban scale making building planning more efficient, rational and standardized. (…) The ISS GIS-BIM for Digital Integrated Design had the important objective of giving a comprehensive review on BIM-GIS integration in sustainable built environments in order to analyze the status quo and practical applications from the viewpoints of technologies for data integration, applications in the life cycle of AEC projects, building energy management, and urban governance, showing relevant case histories".
