Building occupants have higher expectations for the indoor environments they occupy. Changing use patterns and dynamic outdoor conditions mean that static controls aren’t adequate to maintain healthy and comfortable indoor environments while also saving energy. Digital Twins can optimize performance based on multiple sensors and data sources derived from multiple sensors and provide fault detection if any of the sensors fail or fall out of calibration.
A Digital Twin is a virtual representation of a real-world entity or process. It uses historic data and real-time observations to optimize system performance, support proactive maintenance, systems and information decisions. Digital Twinning involves a two-way digital communication channel that provides regular updates and intelligence to the virtual representation, which then processes and interprets the data and presents it in actionable form to users, thereby guiding optimization of the real-world entity.
In this webinar, attendees will take a deep dive into Digital Twins and how they are being employed to promote design excellence and resilience.
