Glossary of Terms in the SPHERE Project Environment

The document Glossary of Terms in the SPHERE Project Environment provides a comprehensive compilation of definitions and key concepts used throughout the SPHERE Project — a Horizon 2020–funded research initiative (Grant Agreement No. 820805). It serves as a technical and linguistic reference that clarifies the terminology surrounding Building Information Modelling (BIM), Digital Twins, sustainability, and smart building systems. By defining essential terms and frameworks, the glossary ensures consistency, interoperability, and a shared understanding across disciplines within the project’s multidisciplinary consortium. It supports effective collaboration between stakeholders in construction, ICT, and research sectors, promoting coherence in the development and implementation of SPHERE’s digital ecosystem.
