Birmingham City University (BCU) is developing a digital twin of the 155m-tall skyscraper, One Eastside. The building is set to be Birmingham’s tallest when completed in 2026.
As part of a research partnership between the building’s developer, Court Collaboration, and BCU, digital construction and AI experts from the university are creating a digital twin to monitor, visualise and predict parameters affecting the skyscraper’s sustainability and residents’ comfort.
Project lead Dr Saeed Talebi, associate professor in the College of Built Environment at BCU, said: “We are on the journey to develop a state-of-the-art, multi-functional digital twin platform, specifically self-developed by BCU to address the needs and requirements of our industrial partners. This platform will not only enhance the comfort and efficiency of the building, it will also align with and contribute to several of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those focused on sustainable cities, climate action, and responsible consumption and production.”
