Resumen: The Digital Building Logbook (DBL) is defined in the recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) as a common repository for all relevant building data. While the directive does not specify the exact features or structure of this tool, it is clear that its implementation will be required in the near future. For this reason, various research groups are currently working on the development of a common DBL model that can be applied across all Member States. This paper presents the approach undertaken to propose a DBL model focused on promoting the energy renovation of national building stocks. The methodology involves analysing existing initiatives, identifying the essential data fields that the model should include, and evaluating potential data sources to populate the model. As a result, a logical data model is developed and tested using a case study based on a real building located in Spain. Through the realisation of this case study, the consistency of the proposed model architecture is demonstrated, as well as its ability to fulfil the intended function of promoting energy renovation.
