Digital Twins: Giving Life to MEP Models Offered through MEP BIM Modeling
Digital twins are becoming more popular in the AEC sector as it moves toward Industry 4.0. As MEP design processes grow more sophisticated, digital twins are becoming more possible to achieve and provide several benefits. These are strong tools that may help building owners develop smart buildings while using less energy. MEP models created through MEP BIM modeling are now more accessible to cheaper sensors. How may MEP models be used after a project has been handed over to improve the functioning of buildings throughout their lifecycles? This article gives a broad overview of the digital twin. We also go through how to convert MEP models generated by MEP BIM modeling to digital twins utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) devices—specifically, how to use cloud technology, Dynamo, and Revit 2020 software to connect MEP models and sensors. We'll also demonstrate how to utilize BI dashboards to showcase IoT live data to raise knowledge of how people use buildings and improve building u...
