What is a Digital Twin?
A Digital Twin is a virtual replica of a physical building that integrates real-time data from IoT sensors, building management systems (BMS), and the BIM model. This technological convergence revolutionizes how buildings are operated and maintained.
From BIM Model to Digital Twin
The transition from as-built BIM to Digital Twin represents a natural evolution of the BIM process. The digital model, enriched during the construction phase, becomes the foundation on which real-time operational data is layered: temperature, humidity, energy consumption, occupancy rates.
Predictive Maintenance and Optimization
The Digital Twin enables the shift from corrective or preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance. By analyzing sensor data trends, artificial intelligence algorithms detect anomalies before they become costly failures.
