The paper presents SIMA (Sistema Integrato di Manutenzione Attiva — Integrated Active Maintenance System), a theoretical-methodological framework integrating Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM), Digital Twin architecture, Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks, and Large Language Models (LLMs) for the preventive maintenance of mountain built heritage. Developed within doctoral research at the Università degli Studi «G. d’Annunzio» Chieti-Pescara, SIMA addresses the diagnostic gap in heritage conservation practice through structured protocols for pathological identification, continuous monitoring, and evidence-based treatment planning. The framework is validated against the vernacular built heritage of the Abruzzo Apennines, proposing a replicable model for remote, high-risk heritage assets
