Frequently Asked Questions

What is a digital twin for a building?
A building digital twin is a virtual replica that mirrors the physical building in real time. It combines 3D scan data (the geometric model) with IoT sensor feeds (temperature, humidity, occupancy, energy) and building management system (BMS) data. This enables remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, energy optimization, and space planning.
How much does a digital twin cost?
Digital twin costs vary widely by scope. Initial 3D capture and model creation: $5,000-$50,000. IoT sensor deployment: $10,000-$100,000 depending on building size. Platform licensing: $500-$5,000/month. Total first-year cost for a mid-size commercial building: $25,000-$150,000. ROI typically comes from energy savings (10-30%) and reduced maintenance costs.
