The DTC Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) working group wrote the guides to offer additional detail following the publication of the white paper, “Decarbonizing the Built World: A Call to Action,” which outlines how to reduce carbon emissions using performance-based digital twins.

“As 2030 net-zero objectives become 2040 and 2050 requirements, building owners need to explore new proactive and holistic solutions,” says co-author Todd Lukesh, client engagement manager and sustainability lead at Gafcon Digital. “This user guide demonstrates how digital twins can help deliver these transformative changes and recognizes that our industry needs to collaboratively reduce the impact of our built environments. Digital twins help building owners adopt data-driven approaches to help them understand not only how a building is performing, but also how it should be performing.”

“Many owners have set aggressive decarbonization, net-zero, and sustainability plans,” says Dan Isaacs, general manager and CTO of DTC. “These targets typically include goal-setting, such as achieving net-zero by 2030, erasing carbon footprint by 2050, and decarbonizing across global portfolios by region by specific calendar years. The new user guide can help building owners determine if they are aggressive enough in their strategies and approaches to achieve these targets, and how digital twins can play an important role.”
