The use of digital twins allows reducing carbon emissions in new buildings, which generates savings of up to 35% in construction costs, and reduces polluting gases within a city by between 50% and 100%, according to Bentley Systems.

The technological commitment has emerged as an aid to make resources more efficient, improve water supplies and promote innovation in smart cities. According to data from the company specializing in software for infrastructures, 60% of companies at an international level have begun to make use of what are also called digital twins.

In this way, they have not only improved their operations and performance, but have also overcome challenges in terms of infrastructure and sustainable development.

Digital twins are a virtual representation that mimics the characteristics of a real system. For example, a building, a city and even a human being. It goes beyond a computer model allowing behavior to be analyzed and predicted.

A recent success story of this digital tool is the design and construction of the facilities for the manufacture of vaccines against Covid-19, in the United States, where it was possible to capture and analyze the existing infrastructure, which allowed improving the workflow. in new buildings.

“They have become an essential factor in transforming the world. From transport and mobility, energy, water system and public services; to environment and sustainability”.

Another notable application of digital twins is in water, sanitation and sewage distribution systems. The model has helped various countries in the operation of their drinking liquid supplies. A determining factor in the current scenario of uncertainty in supply.

This strategy manages to map the information coming from the sensors deployed in the territory. In addition, it quantifies characteristics of infrastructure, mobility, preferences, even habits of the population.

“They provide greater knowledge to urban planners and developers. Although digital twins are in the early stages of application, their potential to improve the quality of life in the world and processes in all industries is amazing, "said Bentley Systems.
