Integrating BIM and IoT for Digital Twin Platform in Building Operation Management: Opportunities and Challenges
Publication: ICCREM 2022
ABSTRACT
The digital twin is becoming increasingly popular for building operation management with the support of building information modeling (BIM) applications and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, current research of the BIM and IoT supported digital twin platform often focuses on specific building operation tasks and lacks consideration of the implication challenges. This study investigates the potential application and characteristics of the digital twin platform in building operation management and the root issues that prohibit the implementation of the digital twin platform. The supporting roles of BIM and IoT in the potential application are also discussed. The literature analysis is conducted to identify the success factors from the recent paper on digital twin applications. The potential opportunities and challenges are summarized and analyzed following the proposed framework. This study hopes to guide the development of the BIM and IoT supported digital twin platform toward a practical platform for improving building operation.
