Summary
The study points out that digital twins are already yielding measurable energy and cost savings at the building scale. Extending these gains to the urban scale promises not only deeper reductions in emissions and energy demand but also cross-sector synergies, for example by linking buildings with district heating systems, smart grids, and mobility networks.
The authors collect evidence from more than 80 recent sources to highlight how building digital twins (BDTs) and urban digital twins (UDTs) can drive sustainable development. The study examines what distinguishes BDTs from UDTs, how their benefits extend across scales, and what barriers must be overcome to realize their full potential.
