Effective Building Operation Through the Building's Digital Twin – Case Study

Abstract

"In recent years, many industries have moved forward significantly in terms of digitisation. However, the construction sector is
lagging far behind. A suitable solution to move the construction sector forward is the use of the Building In- formation Model
(BIM). A building model developed in this way can be used not only for design and construction, but in recent years it has been
shown that this model has the greatest benefit in the management and maintenance of t h e building itself. Thanks to modern
support tools, it is possible to prevent failures in time and thus prevent the building from being decommissioned. In this context,
this paper focuses on supporting digital tools such as: the in- formation model of the building, applications for building
management and maintenance, which can be linked to the information model of the building to obtain a ""living"" building, which
can be called the digital twin of the building. This paper also includes a case study that just deals with the connection of an
existing building during management and maintenance with a BIM model. The aim of this paper is not only to increase the
progress of digitalization in the building sector but also to show what benefits digital tools bring with them what are the future
lines of research and what are the challenges associated with this issue."Q
