Twinview is a browser-based Digital Twin platform for the property sector connecting building systems’ data to a 3D model viewed on a single dashboard. Earlier this year Twinview integrated with Great Portland Estates The Hickman – creating the most intelligent building in the world. We hear from the implementer and the client. 

Akademiska Hus is one of Sweden’s largest real estate companies. They build, develop and manage education assets located in places all over Sweden. Within their assets, 300,000 people study, research and work every day. They also use a digital twin to optimize the performance of their assets.  

City Rail Link is the largest transport infrastructure project New Zealand has ever attempted, the first metro project the country has ever done, and with the most onerous mandated digital deliverables a New Zealand project has ever had.  

The Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport terminal is a transformational infrastructure project of national significance, driving economic growth and providing thousands of job opportunities for the people of Western Sydney, while supporting Sydney’s growing aviation needs. We consider the advantages of using a twin and how it might also be used by the owners. 

Industry studies and a vast portfolio of pan-sector examples show us the benefits of twins for enhanced performance, optimised usage, better predictions and better decision-making. But, the question remains – how will it generate benefit for your organisation specifically? This twinning case study outlines the key outcomes to date for a global leader in water management.  

Projects are increasingly using internationally leading technologies and workflows to improve project delivery. To ensure this adoption is consistent and value-adding, projects are implementing best practice standards and requirements to ensure the high quality information created throughout delivery is unlocked and managed effectively in the asset management phase.  

The industry is now witnessing how new ways of working based around data management. By rethinking our workflows, we can become more proactive and measurably more effective. The conversation has turned to how new performance based digital dashboards can be deployed to inform consumers, industry and government in real time of how data is defining our future. 

Asset owners increasingly are realizing that a coordinated approach is needed to deliver the required change in asset performance and efficiency. They need access to asset data held by their AEC partners. We consider the practical issues involved to make this happen. This session will bring you up to speed on the digital twin strategy. 

The National Digital Twin programme (NDTp) is run by the Centre for Digital Built Britain, a partnership between the University of Cambridge and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.  

From five dimensional building information modeling (BIM 5D) to AI-driven scheduling, drone quantity trackers, human safety trackers, or AR-assisted wearables, the future is here, or at least within our reach. Yet to capture its benefits, project teams have to get integrated and change their behaviours. In this presentation you will hear why owners must lead the cultural change and pursue a rolling digital collaboration program with their supply chains to develop, implement and capture the increasing benefit of digital across their project portfolio.  

Digital twins, smart cities, and other forms of innovation can only be efficiently deployed if the underlying BIM data is coherent across buildings, cities and regions. But creating a system to encourage data exchange is meaningless without an environment in which it can succeed. In this session you will get insights into how to develop an interconnected ecosystem built around an open platform in which data flows freely. 

We have honed our expertise building digital twins in the energy sector, where highly complex assets, soaring capital expenditure and lengthy operating phases demand a value-driven, full asset lifecycle approach. In this presentation we will share our approach and how we translated this know-how into the built environment, by focusing on ‘right-to-left thinking’ to reflect operational requirements into project delivery – building the operating digital twin alongside the physical asset

Building owners want digital data at handover to get the most out of their investment, given nearly 80 percent of an asset’s lifetime value is realised in operations. In this session you’ll learn: · How you can deliver a holistic and usable view of design and construction data as a digital twin for operations · Why a single source of truth for operations will help reduce the total cost of ownership of projects, and help owners realise the value of BIM long after handover. 

Knowing the technology end game helps in building digital frameworks today. This presentation provides a vision of the future based around AI/ML, cognitive digital twins & radical digital transformation. We also reflect upon what it means to be digital twin enabled. 

These quickfire moderated roundtable sessions enable delegates to break up into small focus groups of 20 to deep dive into topics of specific interest. 

• Roundtable 1: Office design for a hybrid world 
• Roundtable 2: Tenant experience – How to track and measure the right data to improve tenant relationships 
• Roundtable 3: Leveraging big data and analytics to assess portfolio performance and investment decisions 
• Roundtable 4: Creating healthy sustainable offices through technology 

• Roundtable 5: Smart buildings: Overcoming technology deployment obstacles 

In the past three decades, a series of quiet revolutions in design have changed the way offices are used, erasing former hierarchies of walls and cubicles and incorporating workplace methodologies from the technology industry into team-based, open-plan layouts. At the same time, digital tools such as e-mail, Excel, Google Docs, video conferencing, virtual whiteboarding, and chat channels like Slack have made a worker’s presence in those offices less essential. The pandemic has collapsed these divergent trends into an existential question: What’s an office for? Is it a place for newbies to learn from experienced colleagues? A way for bosses to oversee shirkers? A platform for collaboration? A source of friends and social life? A respite from the family? A reason to leave the house? It turns out that work, which is what the office was supposed to be for, is possible to do from somewhere else. 

In this presentation, we’ll hear how forward-thinking companies are figuring out how to balance what appears to be a lasting shift toward remote work with the value of the physical workplace. 

• Examining current office performance/analysis 
• Occupancy rates and leasing demand  

• Stock levels and how demand is evolving in the new environment 
• Changing tenant needs/expectations of hybrid workplace 
• Contrasting Grade A with Grade B properties and the opportunities created 

In this session you’ll learn how CRE analytics can be used to produce valuable insights to investors, landlords, and property teams about office portfolios. 

Sabine Lam is the Global Lead for Real Estate & Workplace for Google and is responsible for the network security, transformation, adaptability, sustainability and the digitalisation of more than 700 buildings and data centres – across more than 40 million square feet of commercial Real Estate. In this session we hear how Google sets and manages their CRE goals and how they are implemented across their portfolio in over 50 countries globally.

• Unpacking the Google Operating Systems in terms of Real Estate Workplace Services (REWS) and what it means for our employees, buildings and the tech that enables it all
• Reviewing security, transformation, adaptability and the digitalisation of buildings from a REWS and multi-user precinct perspective
• How do we build our buildings in order to meet REWS standards?
• Tackling sustainability from energy usage and measurement to materials across the supply chain and ongoing facilities management
• How data is critical to realising all of the above and sets the standard for Google approaches to REWS
