The document discusses the DIMMER project, which aims to develop an open platform using a District Information Model (DIM) to process and visualize real-time district level data in order to reduce energy consumption. A standard process has been defined to create a DIM by connecting BIM and GIS models while preserving information. The DIMMER tools include a web-GIS dashboard to monitor and manage energy use, a benchmarking tool to encourage energy optimization, a community portal for information sharing, and a district visualizer prototype. The goal is to extend BIM capabilities to the district level for energy savings.
