What is Digital Twin?
A digital twin is a living digital replica of a built asset that stays connected to the real thing — combining the as-built model with live data from sensors, occupancy, and building systems. Unlike a static BIM model, a twin updates as the building operates.
In practice
Owners use digital twins for operations: monitoring energy and occupancy, simulating changes before making them, and giving facilities teams a queryable model of what is actually installed where.
Tools for Digital Twin
Density
Privacy-safe people-counting sensors and analytics that show how workplaces are actually used, feeding better space decisions.
