The Project

Learning content and outcome 

The goal of the DigiLab/BE LM (DigiLab/BE learning material) is to give an introduction to digital twins for the building and engineering (BE) sector. 

The target group is pupils and students, having heard the term Digital Twin and want to know more, both on the possibilities it opens, and the technology involved. 

The DigiLab/BE LM consists of several sections:

The DigiLab/BE Intro introduces the complete concept of Digital Twin, explained by overview text and examples. The examples use data from the two demo sites, one in Gjøvik/Norway, and one in Blanca, Spain.  

Students are strongly recommended to start their digital twin journey in the DigiLab/BE Intro section. The students being inspired, can continue with the four more in-dept sections in data capture (DigiLab/BE Geometry and 3D modelling and DigiLab/BE Sensor data acquisition), the VR/Visualization section (DigiLab/BE Virtual Reality) and the section handling analysis and decision support (DigiLab/BE Smartization). 

The DigiLab/BE Platform is the collection of supporting materials to the DigiLab/BE LM. The main purpose is to be a support to the DigiLab/BE LM However, it might also be used as supporting platform for continuing digital twin activities when/if the DigiLab/BE LM is not relevant. 

The outcome: 

  • The DigiLab/BE LM will give you a practical introduction to the use cases, principles and technology used in digital twins, making you ready for further exploration of digital twins, either on your own or as part of an education.  
  • DigiLab/BE Intro will give you an introduction to digital twin for BE, sufficient for further learning using the four in-dept sections.
