Title:
An Integrated Digital Twin Platform for Federal Built Assets in Canada
Agreement Number:
1016512
Agreement Value:
$688,336.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 8, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
The Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS) — working with the National Research Council (NRC) and Department of National Defence (DND), and in collaboration with Building Smart Canada (bSC) and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGS) — proposes the development of exchange information requirements (EIR) and a browser-based digital twin platform to support the management of federal built assets. Paraphrasing Michael Grieves, we understand a digital twin to be comprised of three essential components: “i) real objects in real space, ii) digital objects in digital space, and iii) the exchange of data and information between real and digital objects and spaces. The proposed digital platform will integrate and visualize diverse multiscale and multidisciplinary data sets required for the management of built assets. Aligning with the “Greening Government Strategy” and ISO 19650, this integrated platform will facilitate whole life cycle management throughout the design, construction, operations, and decommissioning of built federal assets. The platform will enable multidisciplinary collaboration, project management, and accountability.
