Conventional buildings are major energy consumers and emitters of carbon dioxide. There is a lot of room for optimization especially when it comes to heating and cooling buildings. Modern buildings are equipped with thousands of sensors that measure environmental data and actuators that control heating valves, fans, lights and other things. By combining data from these sensors and actuators with meta-data such as a construction models we create a digital representation of a building, a digital twin. A digital twin is a platform for all kinds of applications or services that make use of building meta-data and live or historic data. We can monitor and optimize energy consumption or run simulations. Thus, a digital twin is an important tool to reach sustainability goals for a building. Creating a digital twin is a technical challenge as there is a lot of heterogeneity in the things in a building and the protocols and application models that are used.

At Siemens, we use open standards to tackle the technical challenges of creating a digital twin. In this session you will learn about the W3C Web of Things standard and how we combine it with semantic web technologies and knowledge graphs for a digital building twin.
