| book description |

This book bridges the gap between digital innovation and sustainable development, offering a comprehensive guide to leveraging digital twin technology for smarter, greener buildings and infrastructure. By combining real-world case studies, cutting-edge research, and interdisciplinary insights, it demonstrates how virtual replicas of physical systems can optimize energy efficiency, reduce environmental footprints, and enhance urban resilience. From foundational concepts like Building Information Modelling (BIM) to advanced applicationsâ€”such as blockchain-secured sustainability assessments and AI-driven occupancy monitoringâ€”the book provides actionable strategies for designing, managing, and retrofitting eco-friendly structures. Unique chapters on prefabricated modular construction, industrial resource efficiency, and policy frameworks reveal how digital twins empower stakeholders to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. With a focus on social equity, economic benefits, and global sustainability goals, this book equips policymakers, urban planners, and industry leaders to navigate regulatory landscapes and adopt scalable solutions. Edited by leading experts in data science, AI, and smart energy systems, and a multidisciplinary group of authors, this work combines research and practical experience, from exploring risk management in infrastructure to the societal impacts of digital twins.
