Verso una gestione digitale dell'edilizia residenziale pubblica: Il caso ATER L’Aquila tra BIM e fascicolo del fabbricato digitale

The management of public residential buildings is undergoing a necessary transformation to address operational inefficiencies, regulatory compliance, and the growing demand for sustainability and resilience. In this context, Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers a transformative solution across design, construction, and maintenance phases. However, its adoption into public housing also involves significant challenges, particularly due to the cultural and methodological shifts, related to insufficient training, regulatory adaptation and digitalization barriers. This paper explores the potential of BIM and the Digital Building Dossier in managing existing public housing, using the ATER of L’Aquila as a case study. This ATER, in fact, must comply with both national mandates for BIM in public procurement and regional requirements for creating and maintaining Digital Building Dossiers. The study examines how, especially when integrated, these technologies can enhance operational efficiency, transparency, and maintenance planning. A strategic approach is proposed to integrate BIM and the Digital Building Dossier within a unified and interoperable digital system. This approach supports the modernization of property management practices, aligning with evolving regulatory demands and positioning the integration of these technologies as essential for enhancing public housing management, enabling ATER of L’Aquila to meet current challenges and set a precedent for broader application at regional and national levels.
