Building performance analysis of a digital twin based on paper documentation

Abstract

This document presents the analysis and optimisation of a digital twin created from paper documentation. It explores the potential applications of the model at various stages of a building's lifecycle and the challenges associated with relying solely on paper documentation. The modelling process is more demanding in such cases; however, it allows for the assessment of beneficial and feasible modifications to reduce energy consumption. To achieve this, a model was developed in Autodesk Revit, and an analysis was conducted using Autodesk Insight in three versions: a design based on the paper documentation, a model reflecting the actual state of the building, and an optimised version derived from the results of the first two models.
