Bridging the gap between the real and virtual worlds, a digital twin (DT) leverages data, models, and algorithms for comprehensive connectivity. The research on DTs in optical networks has increased in recent years; however, optical networks are evolving toward wideband capabilities, highly dynamic states, and ever-increasing
The digital-twin concept uses tools and technologies to collect and process real data and information from devices, components, parts, machines on an ongoing construction site and structures in use. With digital twins, as-designed and as-build models will be synchronised thus allowing companies to continuously monitor real progress against the initial BIM
At present, the informatization level in the construction process of steel structures is relatively low.

The digital twin delivers data-driven information needed to uncover significant energy, carbon, capital and operational savings throughout an asset''s useful lifecycle. An asset could be defined as everything from a piece of mechanical equipment to a building, scaled up to a campus, city masterplan or global portfolio.
The buildingSMART Digital Twins Working Group was formed in February 2020 when a group of industry experts came together to work on a positioning paper that was delivered in May 2019. This group aimed to define what digital twins are and what role an industry body such as buildingSMART International can have. The group wanted to form strategic

A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or system designed to reflect a physical object accurately. It spans the object''s lifecycle, is updated from real-time data and uses simulation, machine learning and reasoning to help make decisions. How does a digital twin work? The studied object—for example, a wind turbine—is
The concept of the digital twin is beneficial in every sense, for use in both large and small scale building projects. It presents the physical space as a virtual model, allowing user input and
A digital twin, also called data twin, is a digital representation of a real world object. Digital twins have many applications outside the built envrionment, and are used in the automotive, healthcare, systems engineering, and aerospace industries. For example, digital twin technology has been used to improve performance in Formula 1
Digital Twin. At the NUS CDE, we develop methodologies to capture human-level, building-level, and urban-level data in real-time, build models that represent humans, systems, buildings, and cities, and establish data interoperability frameworks and methodologies to link the resulting data and models into a multi-scale digital twin.
Digital twins are virtual replicas of real-world physical assets. Digital twin technology offers immersive, photorealistic 3D exploration of space that
Digital twins can help you monitor building security and safety systems, detect anomalies and potential threats, and respond quickly in case of an emergency. Cost savings. By reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs, digital twins offer significant cost savings for building owners and operators. Real-time monitoring.
Residential Building Digital Twin functional representation requires a new professional role (BDT Simulation Manager). This functional aspect of the building digital twin covers all phases of the building, from design and concept to commissioning and real time management. It must be well coordinated with BIM and other services of the BDT.
The Building Twin application allows a connected, digital representation of a physical building. It brings together dynamic and static data from multiple sources to create a 3D
As a solution, this paper proposes the connection of the digital building twin with blockchain-based smart contracts to execute performance-based digital payments. First, we conceptualize a technical architecture to connect blockchain to digital building twins. The digital building twin stores and evaluates performance data in real-time.

Digital Twin for HKUST Campus. HKUST Digital Twin project developed an integrated platform by centralizing data from building information modeling (BIM), geographic information system (GIS), and a variety of internet of things (IoT) systems.
Architects also use digital twins as part of their project planning by combining 3D modeling of buildings with digital twin technology. Commercial building managers use digital twins to monitor live and historical temperature, occupancy, and air-quality data within rooms and open spaces to improve occupant comfort.
Building information modeling (BIM) is the holistic process of creating, optimizing, and managing information for a built asset from schematic design through operations. Central to the BIM process is the use of 3D models represented by the core disciplines of architectural, structural, civil/infrastructure, mechanical, electrical, and
