Industrial architects approach the use of digital twins in building energy-efficient lighting systems in industrial facilities in their designs by using specialized software to create virtual models of the buildings and lighting systems. They then simulate the operation of the lighting systems and evaluate their energy efficiency, using data from the virtual model and real-world conditions.
Digital twins allow architects to optimize lighting design based on factors such as the layout of the building, the type of work being performed, and the natural lighting available. They can also use simulations to determine the optimal placement and direction of windows, skylights, and other features that impact lighting.
In addition, digital twins allow architects to monitor and adjust lighting systems in real-time based on changing environmental conditions or occupancy patterns. This can help ensure that lighting is used only when needed and at the most efficient levels possible. By leveraging digital twins, architects can design and create sustainable, energy-efficient buildings that reduce energy costs and environmental impact while improving worker safety and productivity.
