Chapter 12: Case studies: digital twin implementations at the building level

Following the implementation of digital twins at the system level, this chapter introduces the usage of the proposed digital twin architecture at the building level. A building is a collection of diverse systems that provide various services to its occupants. This chapter gives an overview of consistent realisation techniques across different systems used in the building digital twin, particularly in terms of data acquisition, transmission and management. Real-life buildings are used to showcase the implementation process and the lessons learnt from the cases.
