Abstract: The aim of INReS² is to create a web-based prototype application for planning of integrative, decentralised green-blue rain water management systems. Planning recommendations will consider individual project parameters such as size and type of area to be drained, discharge coefficient, soil conditions and infiltration capacities, infiltrating area, design depth of precipitation and further microclimatic relevant proxies.
The toolbox to be developed will consider specific user requirements as choices of aesthetical, ecological, microclimatic values and costs. A comprehensive BIM-compatible database will be the basis for the web application, containing relevant construction components and systems of varying producers.
Existing BIM-Models will be integrated in the database and will be upgraded with parameters relevant to rain water management. The generation of business models and the analyses will guarantee a longterm operation of the toolbox.
