to provide better projects to clients • How to get a better design from project history • Need better data from models • Data gathering from buildings after close out • We then moved forward to research Digital Twins and their benefit to a project lifecycle
so that it can receive input from sensors gathering data from a real-world counterpart. • This allows the twin to simulate the physical object in real time, in the process offering insights into performance and potential problems. • In essence, a digital twin is a computer program that takes real-world data about a physical object or system as inputs and produces as outputs predications or simulations of how that physical object or system will be affected by those inputs A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical object or system
got really cheap and highly integrated which was a boom to the IoT services market https://www.digitalconnectmag.com/how‐to‐manage‐your‐iot‐adoption‐before‐it‐makes‐a‐mess/
look at what’s happening to physical assets • All maintenance history and operations metrics in one place • No more binders and paper logs to sort through • Scalable operations from small to large projects • Predict outcomes based on historical data from device data
data of your assets and explore ways to improve operations for long term ROI Easier access to aggregated information of the facility with real time data over the cloud Value added services to design and construction from the project team Connected lifecycle of IoT devices to help support and inform the operations of the Building
Save cost on operations with real time data for maintenance and updates • Track usage patterns for efficient future expansion • Monetize data of property portfolios to potential clients • Competitive edge in property market for private ownership
Opportunities Plan it out Adjust your operations Factory automation simulation Autonomous vehicles and Telemetry Sensors Devices for monitoring the human body Monitor energy use and equipment in buildings

It's a specialized kind of DATA used by architects and construction professionals, which often contains both building geometry (the 3D model of the building) and metadata (like its cost, heat properties, operating instructions, etc)
Common Data Environment for a Single Source of Truth □ Naming Standards □ Common File types for exchange □ Coordinated models to LOD 400 + □ Federated models through Clash Coordination □ Cloud Hosted models and project content □ Recurring meetings and Review of Assets over the project term
Maps Geometric representation of design or asset Information displayed in a structured format Equipment that immerses someone into a simulated experience Description of an area through 2D or 3D projection
single software solution • You have suites and packages and data • But each team has to condition their data and models for digital twin • Create connections to the physical environment • Get live updates from physical equipment • Have a place to store the data • Analyze the data for breakdowns, trends, notifications, usage etc, • Update your equipment and Digital Twin assets • Repeat • Forever • Just like the real building the work is ongoing
owners • At this point it is a separate service from Design and Constructions • Normally part of Facility Management or Operations • Depending on owner project scope, budget, building operator • Could be hand offs from one group to another but will require validation and commissioning
proposals as part of the service State it as a pilot project with your client Describe the potential Return on Investment Explore and provide results of the process
