Creation of digital twin models for renovation: an integrative literature review

Abstract: In the European Green Deal context, around 75% of European buildings need to be renovated within the next 30 years (European Commission, 2020). The generation of digital models of existing buildings is part of industrialised renovation processes. This paper aims to create new knowledge on the generation of the digital twin models of existing structures for the industrialised renovation of buildings by analysing, criticising and synthesising literature using an integrative literature review method. Finally, the paper proposes research on a new hybrid workflow with related topics for integrating the generation of the digital twin of existing structures into renovation processes.
