Digital Technology Implementation: AECO Viewpoints
This dynamic panel discussion will bring together a distinguished group of experts representing each core sector—architecture, engineering, construction, and owners from the built environment—to share insights on their digital journeys.

Transforming Federal Facility Projects: Digital Twins in the Built Environment

Digital twins are redefining how we design, build, and manage the built environment. This emerging technology is revolutionizing how we approach resilience and recovery from individual buildings to entire asset portfolios and lifeline infrastructure. By leveraging the same simulation capabilities used in defense and facilities sectors—including military-grade data analysis and satellite imagery—digital twins are transforming project and lifecycle asset management.
