Digital Twin application on next-generation Building Energy Performance Certification scheme
Digitalization has played a major role in the building sector in the last few decades. Starting from the early-design stage up to the building's operation and maintenance, digital tools provide all the relevant building stakeholders with the opportunity to reduce the execution time of their processes, increase their productivity, and offer higher-quality services to end-users. Despite the technology breakthroughs over the last few decades, the building sector lacks a holistic technology approach that will be applicable to all the stages of the building's lifecycle. The introduction of the well-established concept of digital twins into the building industry could manage to incorporate the various technology solutions into one platform, to fill the aforementioned technology gap. The present work introduces a framework for utilising cutting-edge digital technologies for evaluating the building's performance in accordance with a holistic Energy Performance Certification (EPC) scheme developed within the H2020 D^2EPC project. The first section introduces a stepwise approach for developing the Building Digital Twin (BDT) platform. The presentation of the incorporated technologies in the proper order, along with a description of the development philosophy provides the reader with a comprehensive DBT development roadmap. The second part includes a high-level presentation of the D^2EPC BDT scheme, elaborating on the component characteristics and their co-operation, towards delivering a novel EPC solution. The proposed digital twin architecture can also be used as the basis for future advancements in building documentation solutions (e.g. digital building logbooks) and facilitate the broader domain of energy efficiency in buildings.
