Digital twins

Digital Twin & Smart Building Analytics

A calibrated energy model is powerful at design stage. Connected to live data, it becomes a digital twin — tracking how your building actually performs, every day, against how it was meant to.

Why it matters

Close the gap between design intent and real performance

Most buildings perform differently in operation than their design models predicted — the "performance gap." A digital twin closes that gap by continuously feeding live meter, sensor and BMS data back into a calibrated model, so deviations, faults and optimisation opportunities are visible as they happen.

We build digital twins that are proportionate to your building and your budget — from a lightweight performance-tracking model through to a full real-time twin integrated with your BMS.

  • Continuous performance tracking — See actual versus predicted performance at any time, not just annually.
  • Faster fault detection — Spot equipment drift or control faults before they become expensive.
  • Scenario testing on a live model — Trial retrofit or control changes virtually before committing capital.
  • Portfolio-scale visibility — A consistent digital twin approach across multiple buildings or sites.

FAQs

What is a building digital twin?

A digital twin is a live, data-connected virtual model of a building that reflects its actual, current performance rather than only its as-designed intent, allowing continuous comparison between the two.

Do we need a full BMS before building a digital twin?

No. We can start with a lighter-weight model fed by available meters and sensors, then expand fidelity and data coverage as your monitoring infrastructure grows.
