Digital twins are "big driver" towards net-zero cities say experts

Digital twins of buildings and cities could become an essential tool in the battle against climate change, according to technology experts.
These virtual replicas – computer models that use live data to create simulations of real-world objects and systems – can reduce the energy consumption of buildings in operation, proponents claim.
They do this by analysing a range of data sources, from heating and air conditioning systems to employee schedules and local traffic flow patterns
