The Role of Digital Twin Frameworks in Lifecycle Management and Predictive Maintenance of Architectural Projects
Keywords:
Digital Twin, Lifecycle Management, Predictive Maintenance, Architecture, Smart Buildings, BIM IntegrationAbstract
The integration of Digital Twin (DT) frameworks into architectural practice has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly in relation to lifecycle management and predictive maintenance. By providing real-time monitoring, simulation, and predictive analytics, DTs offer a transformative approach to optimizing performance across the full building lifecycle. This paper explores how DT frameworks contribute to enhanced asset management, predictive maintenance strategies, and sustainability goals in architectural projects. The review identifies key trends, methodological approaches, and challenges, while also proposing future research directions. A conceptual framework and comparative analysis are presented to illustrate the evolving role of DT in managing complex built environments.
