From Desert Heat to Digital Twins: Inside Construction R&D

Construction researchers are exploring digital twin technology to optimize building design and construction processes.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, are developing a digital twin platform to simulate building performance in extreme desert environments.

The platform uses real-time data from sensors and weather forecasts to predict and mitigate the effects of heat on building materials and occupants.

The goal is to create more resilient and sustainable buildings that can withstand the harshest conditions.
