The Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB), a digital twin research effort in the U.K., has recently completed a five-year charter aimed at linking the dots between building designs and connected ecosystems of digital twins. Over the ensuing years, the research efforts helped promote conversations about how improved data sharing could improve construction processes and cultivate shared understanding among stakeholders.
As a parting gift, the group has compiled several reports that focus on how digital twins can be utilized to address business, social and environmental goals. The Gemini Papers explore best practices for aligning physical infrastructure of the technology, digital replicas and touch on social considerations. A separate white paper with similar focus explores “How Finance and Digital Twins Can Shape a Better Future for the Planet.”
