Digital Twins in DfE Schools
Rob Charlton, Director, Twinview

How can digital twins support the delivery and operation of zero-carbon schools? Using Woodham Academy as a live case study, this session explores how a digital twin platform has enabled performance-led operation, automated DfE reporting and comparison against TM54 design predictions. The presentation shows how operational data, including high-energy assets such as swimming pools, can inform optimisation, compliance, and future school design, turning performance information into practical learning for education estates teams. 

From BIM to Control: Digital Twin FM in Schools
Reid Cunningham,
Strategic Development Director, BAM FM and BAM Energy & Sarah Dixon, Head of Bids, BAM FM

This session will show how Dunfermline Learning Campus uses a live Digital Twin to improve facilities management control. By linking the BIM model to the BMS through Autodesk Tandem, facilities teams can view live room temperatures, CO₂ levels and asset performance in context, simplifying comfort monitoring and decision‑making. Asset alerts are integrated with CAFM workflows, turning insight into action. The session focuses on practical lessons for embedding Digital Twins into day‑to‑day FM operations.
