Digital Twin

Digital Twin refers to a digital replica of physical assets, processes, people, places, systems and devices that can be
used for various purposes. The digital representation provides both the elements and the dynamics of how an Internet
of Things device operates and lives throughout its life cycle. (Wikipedia)

Digital Twin = BIM + IoT + FM + GIS + …

Digital Twin Benefits: Time Savings & Impact

Use Case analysis from

EcoDomus’ project with
the leading healthcare
organization.

Benefits are related not

just to time/cost savings
but more importantly to
the impact on operations.

 EcoDomus Software – Lifecycle BIM CDE for Digital Twins 7

EcoDomus

EcoDomus software acts as the Common Data Environment (CDE) and Integrated Web Services BIM Hub (as
defined by UK Level 3 BIM), tying together various disconnected systems and workflows, and enables handover
between all the participants in facility’s lifecycle: architects, engineers, contractors, operators, facility managers,
commissioning agents, etc. – anyone who needs information about the facility. The ultimate goal is the production
of a Digital Twin. EcoDomus is the pioneer of open industry standards (first COBie middleware), our CDE complies
with UK’s BIM Level 2 (PAS 1192), ISO 19650, and enables BIM Level 3 – the future of BIM.

 Average BIM vs. Useful BIM 10

Average “BIM” Project Useful BIM Project

• Focuses on 2D Deliverables
• Asset names are cryptic
• Properties are missing or wrong
• Building Systems (MEP) are not defined or
connected
• Geometry issues (duplicate assets, surface
overlaps etc.)
• Focuses on 3D + Data
• Asset names meet owner requirements
• Properties are verified
• Building systems (MEPF) show actual
connections
• Geometry issues are resolved – easy to
navigate and get data
