For the realization of this project, a virtual model of a pilot building has been constructed, which connects to the physical building to create its digital twin. This aims to optimize the performance of smart buildings through simulations. Additionally, predictions of the building’s future state will be made using techniques based on neural networks (artificial intelligence), thus creating its digital twin.
The objective of the project is to gather and process all the information generated by the Smart Building in a digital environment to improve device management and optimize their usage through simulations in different contexts or scenarios, thus providing a new dimension of control to enhance the management of enclosed spaces.
The digital twin, developed by CT Solutions, will enhance operations by collecting real-time information from all systems integrated into the smart building. Furthermore, Artificial Intelligence systems will help prevent unexpected failures while improving building operation and reducing costs. This facilitates asset and personnel tracking in their workplaces and provides greater visibility into management operations.
In terms of building security, this project will facilitate anticipation of security issues and mitigation of risks that may arise, thanks to simulations that assist building managers.
Furthermore, the project offers the possibility of having a secure environment to implement various initiatives, such as improving air quality by ensuring adequate CO2 levels for the safety of individuals, or ensuring the maximum occupancy of the building to comply with health regulations, while simultaneously promoting energy efficiency. Simulations performed in the digital twin will validate the feasibility and effectiveness of these initiatives, allowing the selection of those that are most cost-effective.
This project is supported by ACCIÓ (through the Competitiveness Enhancement Initiatives program), coordinated by the Smartech Cluster Association, and has involved the participation of CT Solutions, La Salle Campus Barcelona, MSI Studio, Prosume Energy, TECNALIA Research & Innovation, Noumena, Siemens, Innova IT, and Loxone Spain.
