Reviewing applications of digital twins in building management in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, managing buildings and ensuring the safety of occupants has become increasingly challenging. To tackle these challenges, the concept of digital twins has emerged as a promising solution. This literature review explores the use of digital twins in building management during the pandemic. By analyzing previous studies, scientific research, and technical reports, we have identified key findings. Digital twins have proven effective in predicting and assessing airborne transmission risks in public buildings. Through simulating the internal environment, building operators can proactively optimize airflow, ventilation, humidity levels, and implement social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the virus. The results emphasize the crucial role of digital twins in predicting and assessing airborne transmission risks, enabling proactive measures to mitigate virus transmission. Furthermore, digital twins support safer management practices by monitoring passenger information and behavior, predicting infections, and preventing future issues in crowded spaces. The conclusions underscore the importance of embracing digitization concepts and digital twins in the architecture sector to create safe, healthy, and intelligent buildings that can diagnose problems and offer effective solutions. The study recommends further research and development in the field of digital twins to fully harness their potential to address current and future challenges in building management.
