Description

A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or a system. In the context of net zero carbon buildings, a building digital twin can be used to optimise existing building systems (such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning), as well as testing the impact of carbon reducing interventions such as additional thermal insulation. The proposed commissioned digital twin of an NHS hospital site will act as a proof of concept/value. The chosen site will attempt to be representative of the wider estate by having a mix of building archetype and condition.
