“…The prominent terms that emerge from the word cloud are "Digital", "Twin", "BIM", "Data", and "Construction", reflecting the consensus among both academic research and the construction industry regarding the The low digitization intelligence problem in the current design and construction integration process can be effectively resolved using DT technology. According to a study by Zhou et al [20], DT technology has successfully integrated architectural design and construction. This technology creates a virtual space mapping model that reflects a physical system's entire life cycle process by incorporating historical operation data and sensor data updates.…”

“…In addition, the study develops ten criteria for the comparative analysis between DT and BIM, including the concept origin, purpose, application focus, features, level of details, scalability, main users, interoperability, application interface, and building life cycle stage. The study adopted and built upon the framework developed by Khajavi et al [20] and Feng et al [29]. Most significantly, the framework proposed in our research advanced the prior works by adding four criteria-purpose, features, level of detail, and scalability-which helped establish a clear and objective framework for evaluating their similarities and differences.…”

“…On the other hand, BIM may need to be able to handle the complexity of large projects due to limitations in its processing power and storage capacity. A study by Zhou et al [20] compared the scalability of BIM and DT in construction projects. DT has more substantial scalability than BIM due to its capability to process massive amounts of information and deliver real time updates.…”

Today, construction is essential to every economy since it employs many workers and significantly contributes to GDP. The construction industry’s efficiency has lagged behind other industries for decades due to low productivity, a lack of research, and poor adoption of advancements. Fortunately, the successful development of digital technologies such as Digital Twin (DT) has facilitated growth in many sectors, and DT has the potential to address challenges in building construction projects. While DT is a virtual replica that provides real-time data and analysis of a physical asset to optimize its performance, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a collaborative process for creating, managing, and exchanging information throughout a construction project. BIM is the most efficient way to create an accurate, high-value DT and support industry transformation. An integrated DT and BIM platform can improve building design, construction, and performance in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors. Based on a literature review, this research aims to clarify and differentiate DT from other advanced 3D modeling technologies, such as BIM. Related publications from articles about DT and BIM in the construction industry were selected, identified, and organized after careful research of the relevant scientific databases. The research has three primary objectives: (1) to examine the present applications of DT and BIM in the construction industry; (2) to emphasize the similarities and differences between the two; and (3) to develop solutions and design methods for BIM and DT integration in building construction.

“…Towards the massive deployment of smart buildings, technologies related to electricity generation and demand coordination, and IEQ management and control, should be integrated together over the Internet of Things (IoT) framework. In this direction, the development of a digital twin for buildings can support the design stage, can improve the building performance evaluation under different operating scenarios, and can facilitate the development of novel solutions, as stated in [3]. According to IBM, a digital twin, is a virtual model designed to accurately reflect a physical object.…”

Smart buildings aim to increase energy performance while maintaining or improving the indoor living conditions. A digital twin of a smart building should be able to provide a virtual representation of the actual building behavior in real-time through accurate simulations considering both the air quality and energy related performance. Such digital twin setups are useful for investigating the building behavior in a non-invasive manner and for validating the effectiveness of novel management and control algorithms under realistic conditions before their actual deployment in real buildings. This paper presents the key functional requirements that a digital twin platform for building should satisfy. Then, an architecture is proposed for the development of a digital twin for buildings while design guidelines are also provided. The architecture includes a software platform for the integration of smart algorithms and user interfaces to enable the intelligent operation of buildings. The digital twin captures the indoor environmental conditions by modeling the operation of the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system, the occupants' behavior, the building's thermal insulation, and the outdoor weather conditions. At the same time, the building electricity consumption is characterized by modelling the load consumption according to users' habits, the HVAC operation, the renewable energy generation, and the weather conditions. An example for the development, validation, and calibration of a digital twin of an actual building is demonstrated in this paper. Furthermore, some use cases are demonstrated through the software platform to investigate how an operational fault or an actual battery system, connected in a hardware in the loop configuration, can affect the indoor environmental conditions and the energy performance of the building.
