Discovering Where BIM Ends & Digital Twins Begin
Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital twins are two important technological concepts that can, at times, be considered quite separate or be used interchangeably in the buildings sector. Both concepts could be defined as “a digital representation of assets, processes and systems in a physical space,” yet they tend to be used by very different […]
Software is King across the Commercial Building Lifecycle
This article was written by Daphne Tomlinson, Senior Research Associate at Memoori. Software is a critical component in the lifecycle of a commercial building, starting from the design, planning and construction phases through to building operations and facility maintenance; followed by refurbishment and renovation before the final demolition phase. Until recently, the design and construction […]
BIM & GIS Combine to Advance the Digital Twin for Smarter Cities
The digital twin has become a holy grail for the smart city. A virtual model of a city, or a digital replica of the physical world, digital twins allow the simulation of plans before implementing them, exposing problems before they become a reality. From urban planning to land-use optimization, digital twins have the power to […]
BIM And The Cloud
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is being described as a game-changing technology and even a cultural shift for the construction and smart buildings sector. Meanwhile, cloud computing has moved from an essential backstage structure of the internet to becoming a household name, representing a new age of information and communications technology (ICT). These two forces are […]
