Leveraging digital twins for sustainability in the built environment
summary
A water-sector platform prototypes a digital twin called Water Intelligence: a New York pilot that combines a Unity 3D interactive watershed visualization, a collaboration forum, and a chatbot named Finn to surface land, water use and quality data for community decision‑making; expansion talks with Latin American and Indian partners are underway. Offshore examples tie live IoT feeds into simulation engines to predict fatigue and extend operation—one North Sea farm (7 MW turbines, online since 2019) gains about five years before physical recheck; a Baltic project monitors 70 jackets to cut site visits, HSE risk and CO2.
