(Digital Twin Consortium: Boston) -- The Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) has announced the publication of a white paper, “Decarbonizing the Built World: A Call to Action.” It outlines how building owners and their community of stakeholders can reduce carbon emissions using performance-based digital twins. By doing so, building owners, operators, and stakeholders can ensure optimal building performance and sustainability, and contribute to net-zero goals.

“This introductory white paper from our Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations Working Group (AECO) describes how digital twins can help building stakeholders assess building performance and sustainability to tackle embodied and operational carbon emissions,” says Dan Isaacs, GM and CTO of DTC. “Five supporting user guides, which provide practical detail on implementing digital twins for building performance and sustainability, will follow.”
