from the real - physical world -
are transferred to the digital
world, i.e., into the digital twin
model of the existing building
and the equipment built into it.
What To Do With A
Digital Model Of A
Digital Twin After
Making And
Purchasing It?
The answer to the last question I
am going to discuss in this article
should be, at the same time, a
recapitulation of everything we
have learned about the need for
digital twinning in the construction
industry.
First and foremost, the purpose
of developing a digital twin model
in the construction industry is to
obtain, in a digital format, and in
a much cheaper way, a user of a
facility about all aspects of the life
cycle cost of a particular building,
component or system in a real
environment and the real effects
of different phenomena that
interact with a building, component,
or system.
When a facility user purchases a
digital twin model of a facility and
built-in equipment, it would be
best to do monthly, quarterly,
annual, and multi-year cross-sections
of building and equipment
maintenance costs so that tenant
can manage finances in the best
possible way.
Any changes to the building itself
or the equipment built into it
must be updated in the digital
twin model as well since future
changes cannot be properly
tracked nor can the costs of
future maintenance work be
monitored unless the digital twin
model is a perfect digital copy of
the building current state and the
equipment built into it.
And at the very end of the article,
I will make a personal comment
and my more free-standing view
of the digital twin model in the
construction industry.
The digital twin model of a
building and equipment built into
it is essentially a BIM as built
model, with added functionality
that can be used for tracking the
life cycle cost of the building and
the equipment built into it. In
order to maintain the status of a
digital twin model of a facility, it is
necessary that it is continuously
updated and that all changes
I would also like to conclude this
article on digital twins in the
construction industry and my
view of how they can help the
construction industry through
cost optimization and better
functionality, both for under
construction facilities and already
built facilities.
Finally, I would like to take this
opportunity to announce my next
article, "Data Management In The
Digital Twin", in which, through
the examples, I will try to show
you the need to think for yourself
about the need to design a digital
twin of your building.
If you need any help in designing
the process of how to get a digital
twin model, or you need to create
a digital twin model yourself,
TeamCAD BIM Consultants will be
happy to support you.
Until next time,
