“…This help in communication between the different actors throughout the project lifecycle provides the possibility to prevent isolation of data in their respective phases and thus a possible loss of important knowledge for further phases [22,[33][34][35]51]. These benefits in monitoring can also help to optimise the global energy consumption and the exploitation costs of the building [29,[37][38][39][40]54,55] during the inspection and maintenance planning phases. Kaewunruen et al gave an example of these benefits during the reinforcement of a metro station taking into account the cost and environmental impact of the different materials that could be used [38].…”

“…The data displayed can either be static or collected in real-time from the system (e.g., technical documentation of an equipment, time series of data collected by smart sensors, aand instructions for maintenance procedures) [26,43,53,55,64,67,68,70,72,73,77,78]. Most of the time, the selection of the data is done manually by an expert [25,53,69,73].…”

“…There are two main types of XR supports that can be found in the literature (see Table 6). The first type is the handheld device (HHD) (see Figure 6a), such as a smartphone or a tablet [22,47,53,55,68,69,75,77,81], which is often already used in industry. Even if the HDD can be used to display augmentations, their main disadvantage is that they need to be supported, either by the user's hand or with a secure support.…”

“…When the operator is performing maintenance procedures on-site, it might be necessary to locate or identify specific equipment. XR devices have often been used to improve this locating task, using specific equipment data issued from a centralised DT or a BIM to detect its position [25,47,55,72]. Once the equipment location is known, XR devices can then be used to highlight it with, for example, a colour-coded 3D model [43,47,67,[69][70][71][72].…”

In recent years, the use of digital twins (DT) to improve maintenance procedures has increased in various industrial sectors (e.g., manufacturing, energy industry, aerospace) but is more limited in the construction industry. However, the operation and maintenance (O&M) phase of a building’s life cycle is the most expensive. Smart buildings already use BIM (Building Information Modeling) for facility management, but they lack the predictive capabilities of DT. On the other hand, the use of extended reality (XR) technologies to improve maintenance operations has been a major topic of academic research in recent years, both through data display and remote collaboration. In this context, this paper focuses on reviewing projects using a combination of these technologies to improve maintenance operations in smart buildings. This review uses a combination of at least three of the terms “Digital Twin”, “Maintenance”, “BIM” and “Extended Reality”. Results show how a BIM can be used to create a DT and how this DT use combined with XR technologies can improve maintenance operations in a smart building. This paper also highlights the challenges for the correct implementation of a BIM-based DT combined with XR devices. An example of use is also proposed using a diagram of the possible interactions between the user, the DT and the application framework during maintenance operations.
