written by Sion Geschwindt December 8, 2021. 0. Siemens Smart Infrastructure has signed an agreement to acquire EcoDomus '' digital twin software for buildings. In a statement released last week, Siemens Smart Infrastructure explained that the move will help expand its digital building portfolio, including its cloud-based building
The concept is fairly simple. A digital twin provides a way to record each step of the construction process for all players involved, and then it links to the building itself in the form of automation or other responses. The idea is to enable a smarter building with reduced maintenance costs or failures in an electrical system, HVAC or other
