Abstract

To predict outcomes and problems in a construction project, this study examines the idea of dynamic building information modelling and management. It does so by highlighting the usage of digital twinning as a virtual representation of a physical system. The primary objective is to put forth a framework for facility managers to control data transmission between IoT technologies and the Building Information Model during the operational phase, enabling an effective digital twin. The literature study explores the value of BIM-based sustainable lighting systems, how BIM is used in facility management, and the challenges that are encountered. Additionally, it explores the function of digital twinning in the operational phase, focusing on remote monitoring and upkeep. The methodology uses secondary data analysis from recent research publications to investigate BIM implementations and IoT integrated technologies. It incorporates both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The proposed framework will be developed based on literature findings, and focus groups and surveys involving construction firms and facility managers will be used to validate it. The research procedure has been ethically guided to respect study participants' privacy and their willingness to participate voluntarily. By utilising the power of digital twinning in the construction industry, the suggested framework has the potential to bring about a few major advantages, such as improved decision-making, cost reductions, and increased operational efficiency.
