Abstract
Digital twin, a technology bridging the physical and digital domains, has found extensive application in digitally advanced industries. However, its adoption in the construction sector remains limited, hindered by challenges related to construction, integration with real-time data capture, and visualisation platforms. This paper presents a construction industry digital twin that combines Building Information Modelling-based data visualisation with an Internet of Things-driven live data capture platform, outlining a methodology for its development. The digital twin was implemented in a university library embodying the ‘Living Lab’ concept to account for the nuances associated with live environments. It integrates sensors with Building Information Modelling to offer a semiotic representation of the library's internal conditions in digital twin, empowering facility managers to proactively optimize thermal, lighting, and air quality.
