Iryna Osadcha is a PhD student in Construction and Civil Engineering at Kaunas University of Technology. She researches Digital Twins for emergency response and urban resilience. Her expertise covers building LCA, BIM-to-BEM interoperability, data models and ontologies for sustainability, and standardisation in the BIM and Digital Twin domains.

She contributed to Horizon Europe projects on building performance, energy assessment using IoT and BIM, and sustainable construction and renovation. Her publications cover geometrical data requirements for energy modelling and methods to improve interoperability in Digital Twin solutions.

Līga Puzule is a researcher and a PhD student at the Faculty of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Riga Technical University (RTU), Latvia.
Her research focuses on sustainable construction practices, with particular expertise in life-cycle assessment (LCA) of construction materials and whole-building life-cycle analysis. She also knows energy management and carbon footprint calculations for companies.

Her PhD research is centered on assessing both embodied and operational carbon emissions of buildings before and after renovation, to quantify the environmental benefits of renovation strategies. By analyzing these emissions, she aims to identify pathways to reduce buildings’ carbon footprints and contribute to the development of positive-energy districts.
