Conceptual frameworks for creating GD
These procedures provided a conceptual basis for creating the digital twin, used to organize the actions necessary for internal operation and maintenance activities. There is no predefined sequence for applying these structures, and their completion does not follow a fixed order. As the digital twin process progresses, the layers must be continuously reviewed, modified, and populated.
Possibilities for organizing activities
Identified flaw: Improvement of the request system processes.
GD Solution: Schedule combined tasks and
Automate the control of task completion.
Fault identified: Alert indicating an impending failure in the electrical and network system.
GD Solution: Preventing work stoppages due to failures.
Identified fault: Monitor layout changes and movements.
GD Solution: Optimize the distribution of spaces considering the needs of the occupants; optimize the distribution of objects for storage.
Publications
Multiple case studies
This can be used as a pilot case study, serving as a starting point for a multiple case investigation. It is recommended that this research be integrated into a more comprehensive set of analyses.
Guidelines for operation and maintenance
To delve into the theories that underpin the definition of guidelines for the operation and maintenance of indoor built environments using digital twins.
Teaching tools
To utilize the digital twin creation process as an active teaching tool in various fields, such as design, architecture, engineering, and computer science, fostering integration between these areas.
Prototype execution GD
The investigation can be extended through practical experiments with individual or combined Digital Twins. Through prototypes, data can be collected, information processed, findings evaluated, interventions simulated, and improvements promoted in built environments can be made, transforming them into intelligent operating systems.
