In his final episode detailing the function of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Ian explains the Digital Twins. A Digital Twin is a digital representation of a physical object, process, service or environment that behaves and looks like its counterpart in the real world. In terms of buildings and real estate, the Digital Twin utilises the original 3D model from the BIM process and converts it into a representation of what is actually built.
Ian covers types of Digital Twin, how a Digital Twin functions, challenges they can solve, why and how to design with Digital Twins, data, modelling, internet linking, Artificial Intelligence integration, and benefits of Digital Twins.

BEST MOMENTS
‘It is effectively the transition from the design phase into the real world.’
‘What you are trying to do through the digital twin is actually test what reality is going to be like and therefore avoid all the costly mistakes by doing it wrong in the first place.’
‘The developers who create the Digital twin ensure that the virtual computer model can receive feedback from sensors that gather data from the real world version.’
‘Digital Twin technology uses machine learning algorithms to process large quantities of sensor data to identify data patterns.’
‘However, for all of the benefits, Digital Twins is not suitable for all instances as it can increase complexity.’
