Working with the Michigan State Capitol, the firm has applied this approach to more efficiently, effectively, and sustainably manage and maintain the Capitol, including more than nine acres of historic finishes, all while serving the state legislative body and general public. Learn how Quinn Evans is giving the Michigan State Capitol the keys to avoid potential disasters, a proper historical catalog, and unique insights through data and digital twins.

The majority of the world is no longer nomadic—we occupy space within a built environment. Rooms (the spaces we occupy) shape the way we design, manage, and optimize our non-nomadic world. The potential for rooms within a digital twin extends far beyond mere spatial boundaries. Digital twin rooms offer the potential to unlock new insights into the use, performance, and optimization within our buildings and beyond. In this presentation, we'll explore the significance of rooms as essential assets, and the importance of accurately representing rooms within the multidimensional world of a digital twin. To top it off, we'll examine how Autodesk Tandem software enables real-time monitoring and analysis of room use, occupancy patterns, and environmental conditions. By using this wealth of data, stakeholders can make informed decisions and plan for future needs based on reliable data related to overall space use, as well as enhance occupant experience and improve energy efficiency.

The digital twin is a concept resulting from the advance and convergence of many different technologies. This has both complicated and over-simplified industry discourse on the topic. Often lost in the discussion about the tech and the solution vendors is what a digital twin describes (the virtualization of a real-world thing or process), the value proposition (capitalizing on digital technologies to improve how we understand, predict, and manage change to our built world), and how to properly engage with the concept (starting with use cases!). Sean OIcott, VP of product and innovation at Gafcon Digital, will join Casey Mahon, senior manager of customer adoption at Autodesk Tandem, to provide a background on the concept, a summary of current and future design and construction use cases, an evaluation of solution vendors on the market, and a demonstration of an example construction use case—the Smart Jobsite—using Autodesk Tandem software.

This class will present how Northvolt has implemented the integrated factory modeling workflow, how this has been significant in the delivery of the company's first gigafactory located in the north of Sweden (Northvolt Ett), and how this plays a crucial role in the company's long-term digitization goals to create digital twins. We've been working very closely with Northvolt in the past two years to ensure all of its data points are connected and to bring together previously siloed departments. We will discuss our case from an integrated factory modeling perspective and the value it's brought the company in current as well as future projects. The focus of our talk will be on the convergence of tools within the Autodesk product portfolio and on collaboration within all disciplines of factory planning, design, and construction.

According to GRESB's 2022 data (the global ESG benchmark for real-estate financial products), 2025 is the estimated average expiration date for the market attractiveness of offices worldwide in terms of meeting CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) energy efficiency standards. In other words, as we move toward net-zero emissions by 2050, the market value of a building that does not achieve the required energy efficiency rating is likely to decrease. It's vital the building sector adopts circular economy principles, moving away from the linear "take, make, dispose" model toward a more sustainable and regenerative approach that prioritizes resource efficiency, reuse, and recycling. Digital twins support the operational phase of a building and develop into digital logbooks, which is crucial at end of life because its help ensure safe and sustainable decommissioning/repurposing, preserves valuable information, and supports compliance with regulations and standards.

This talk will be about real-time, city-scale data visualization, analytics, computation, and simulation in Unreal Engine. We'll demonstrate real-world examples where complex master-planning data sets from multiple stakeholders were integrated to build an immersive digital twin platform in Unreal Engine. You'll learn how the outcome facilitated stakeholder engagement and collaboration and the ability to explore what-if scenarios of the urban development. Materials and textures application and rendering were automated, enabling application of different materials composition to city infrastructure and buildings to provide a realistic feel of the urban context. The speed of the real-time rendering was a masterpiece of computational geometry application to achieve automated processes.

Autodesk Research has been exploring the intersection of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and Internet of Things (IoT) for the last decade. Project Dasher (http://dasher360.com) integrates sensor data with model data from Autodesk's Forge platform to contextualize IoT data in 3D. This session will look at what is happening with Dasher, but also will talk in detail about the Forge capabilities that Dasher has used—which are available to all Forge developers—to build a digital twin integrating real-world performance data.

Advanced nuclear is challenged to design and construct on short timelines, with smaller budgets and fewer workers. Digitalization can help companies overcome these constraints. Unfortunately, a digital twin (DT) is often presented as a monolith. This results in organizations abandoning DTs as having benefits that are minimal or unrealized in time. Many perceive DTs as too large an undertaking to even begin. However, digitalization isn't a track meet; it's a marathon of incremental milestones. And, like all races, it has a starting line. This session will summarize a journey that Argonne National Laboratory and Implexus Lab made to digitize the Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL), a test facility for advancing sodium fast reactors. Components were designed with Inventor software and assembled in Navisworks software, and AutoCAD software generated construction documents. Integrating with Revit provided a DT foundation. Ultimately, the suite of Autodesk tools enabled the creation of a DT boasting live data visualization within a virtual reality (VR) environment.

In this session, we'll equip attendees with practical skills and tools to facilitate the integration of sensor data and analytics into InfoWater Pro software's water distribution models using Info360 Insight software.

These connected models have the potential to save utilities substantial resources through improved operational decision making. We'll discuss the data types suitable for hydraulic models, the preprocessing steps required, and various integration strategies, such as the automatic scaling of customer demands to meet forecasts. The aim is to provide a thorough understanding of digital twins' application in hydraulic modeling, offering attendees valuable insights into this intricate domain.
