(In fact, some senior staff members from Bryden Wood sit on the CIBSE Training and Diversity Group, helping to audit CIBSE accredited training schemes at other companies.)
A digital twin of a city would be too expensive to store and use, and it would also be immediately out-of-date.We need to keep things simple as we work out how to achieve our goals, and the meaning of digital twin is simply a digital representation of a real thing.. Now, by real, we don’t necessarily mean physical.
Sharp explains that the digital representation of a train timetable is just as important as the digital representation of a train itself, each providing important, but different, information.. Further, when we use digital twin technology there should always be a two-way interaction between the digital twin and the real thing.The digital twin is used for simulation and experimentation, while the real-world thing provides feedback that can be used to affect the digital world.It’s possible that a digital twin could be real time, but it’s not a requirement.
Sharp explains that thorough investigation of historic data is more important.In other words, do the lights always go down when it rains?
Analysis of this type of pattern data is just as likely to help us achieve higher performing services as real time data.. Data and The National Digital Twin.
As such, the National Digital Twin isn’t meant to be a one-to-one map of everything.And there is even a partial precedent here in the UK in the form of G-Cloud, the UK Government’s Digital Marketplace for cloud technology and specialist digital services..
Creating a digital marketplace for construction procurement would have benefits that far outweigh the challenges.Even the steps on the journey, as focus on interoperability, data standards and consistent specifications, would help accelerate the digital shift that is already underway.
There is plenty to think about, but I hope we can continue the debate and, together, create the common vision that will add a whole new dimension to our journey of transformation..
