Description
Summary:This article aims to investigate the transition from Building Information Modeling to Digital Twin (DT) technologies in building construction and facility management. The integration of BIM and DT has the potential to enhance decision-making, optimize performance, and improve sustainability throughout the building lifecycle. By conducting a review of the existing literature, this study identifies the current state-of-the-art, as well as key trends, challenges, and opportunities for research and industry 4.0 associated with the adoption and implementation of DT as an extension of BIM. In the Discussion section, issues and gaps for the transition from a static BIM model to a dynamic DT are presented, such as the lack of a framework and protocols for sensor connections. The conclusions will focus on the creation of a protocol for the correct transition of BIM models in the DT environment and the characterization of DT for the construction sector with real use cases.
