Defining the Digital Twin: Construction’s powerful and misunderstood technology

September 5 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

The phrase Digital Twin has exploded in popularity across the architecture, engineering and construction sectors in recent years – but ask around and it’s clear there remains a lot of confusion about what a Digital Twin actually is and what they have to offer.
Behind the buzz, digital twins are integral to the decarbonisation of our buildings. Using real-time data with simulation, machine learning and artificial intelligence, a true Digital Twin is indispensable in its ability to mirror the real-life performance of any building, enabling designers, operators and owners to optimise energy performance.
However, often used interchangeably with other terms like building information modelling (BIM), miscommunication threatens to devalue the real benefits of this technology. Furthermore, investing in solutions without a clearly defined use case or understanding of how solutions align to business needs, can further result in disillusionment and unmet client expectations.
In this special live discussion presented by The B1M in partnership with IES, you’ll hear experts from across the sector tackle the important question of what constitutes a Digital Twin, and, fundamentally, what does not. We’ll also dive into the incredible potential of this technology with some real-world examples of its impact to date, before inviting open questions from the audience.
The event will be hosted by The B1M’s Fred Mills and the expert panel will include:
Richard Fletcher – Executive Board Director, IES
Emma Hooper – Head of Information Management Strategy, RLB Digital
Dan Rossiter FCIAT – Built Environment Sector Lead, BSI
