assessing building initiatives

Regional Environment Agency Middle Holland

The Struck algorithm supports employees in assessing whether a proposed building activity may be licence-free under relevant laws and regulations, such as the Environment Act and the Building Works Environment Decree (Bbl). The system analyses imported features of a building plan and compares them with applicable rules to provide an indicative assessment and explanation.

Goal and impact

The algorithm is used as a support tool when assessing questions about permit-free building. It helps employees and possibly initiators to gain quicker insight into the applicable regulations and conditions for permit-free building. The results serve as an indication and are always checked by a staff member.

Considerations

The environment department may consider using Struck as a support tool for interpreting building regulations and assessing spatial plans. Struck is an AI platform that searches building regulations, environmental plan regulations and technical standards and translates them into understandable answers and controls for specific sites or projects.

Human intervention

Struck supports the employee in assessing an initiative by automatically testing against environmental plans and building regulations. It is then up to the employee to check the result and take it into account when further assessing the initiative.
