About
About the course
Course content
The course aims to equip students with essential knowledge and practical experience in establishing, managing, and utilizing information for a unified digital twin to promote sustainability within the built environment. The course will also include user perspectives and requirements on the digital twin. It will explore both theoretical frameworks and hands-on practices related to digital twins. Digital twins will be used as simulation, visualization and decision making support tool throughout the whole life cycle of buildings/infrastructure, from planning, design, construction, operation/maintenance, demolishing/renovation, and recycling/upcycling.
The course focuses on, e.g.:
- What is a digital twin and how to define it
- Requirements for digital twins in construction management and the built environment
- How to set up digital twins and transfer data
- IoT communication technologies and protocols
- Integration of building information
- Current maturity, limitations, and challenges
Learning outcome
After completing the course, students can:
- identify tasks where digital twins will be useful
- analyze and evaluate user needs and other guidelines for digital twins
- set up requirements for digital twins (including requirements for data content, process / decision support and user involvement / visualizations)
- Know how to establishing, managing, testing, and using digital twins
- Understand the interaction between virtual and physical environment.
Learning methods and activities
The planned teaching will combine lectures, group discussions, self-study, supervision, and guest lectures from relevant industry actors.
Discussions and cooperation between the participants and initiatives towards the industry are important parts of the course.
The course can be given as a guided self-study if less than 6 students are registered.
Compulsory assignments
- Oral presentation
Further on evaluation
The compulsory work requirement is an oral presentation of group report before delivered at Inspera.
If fail, a new group report may be submitted upon agreement with the course responsible.
