Question

Environmental impact reports on noise emissions or shadow cast are highly complex and often tip the scales when it comes to obtaining approval.

• High level of detail: Reports must meet exact requirements (e.g., baseline, additional, and total impact) and address subtopics with the depth required by law.
• Time-consuming: Manually entering essential data points into forecasts and measurement reports that span hundreds of pages takes hours and is extremely prone to errors.
• Strict requirements: If details regarding the daily or annual duration of exposure are missing, the entire report becomes unusable and delays the process.

Solution

We have developed a specialized verification logic that specifically audits the core parameters of emission reports.

• Specialized Rulemap: A dedicated structure (created with ARUM) maps out all essential verification steps for noise and light emission forecasts—from the relevant emission location to periodic shadow casting.
• Targeted Rule AI: The AI solution scans the reports specifically for the required values and answers the stored questionnaire in just a few minutes.
• Automated logging: The system immediately generates a detailed audit report that serves as a reliable basis for the declaration of completeness.

Outcome

Specialized knowledge becomes scalable, and expert reports can be verified in real time.

• Analysis in minutes: What used to require hours of focused reading can now be completed in just a few minutes.
• Comprehensive coverage: Rule AI ensures that no technical parameter (e.g., exposure duration or prior exposure) is overlooked.
• Seamless integration: As a submodule of the BImSchG completeness check, this case ensures a smooth workflow from submission to the issuance of a substantive decision.
