ITA The Benefits of BIM and Digital Twin for Schools
In recent years, managing school infrastructure has become a top priority for public administrations and facility managers. Safe, efficient and sustainable buildings require digital tools that can enhance maintenance and optimize space management. In this context, BIM (Building Information Modeling) and Digital Twin (Gemello Digitale) technologies represent a major advancement.
So, what are the benefits of BIM and Digital Twin for schools?
BIM enables the creation of a 3D digital model containing all building information — from structures and systems to maintenance records. This model serves as a single, reliable source of data that supports planning, safety management and long-term maintenance strategies.
The Digital Twin goes further by connecting the virtual model to real-time IoT sensor data — such as temperature, air quality, lighting and energy consumption. This turns the school into a smart building, capable of monitoring its conditions continuously and responding instantly to issues or inefficiencies.
The main benefits for schools include:
- improved safety for students and staff;
- lower maintenance costs through predictive actions;
- enhanced energy efficiency and sustainability;
- simplified space and operations management;
- full traceability and digital documentation.
UTwin provides a platform that integrates BIM, Digital Twin, CMMS and IoT, designed for the digital management of school facilities. With UTwin, organizations can monitor systems, plan maintenance, control energy consumption and ensure safer, more efficient and sustainable schools.
