WBEF: Digital Twins, ‘openBIM’ & the Future of Facility Management with Smart Workplace International’s Fred Kloet #13

Welcome to a brand new series of the World Built Environment Forum Insights podcast, brought to you by RICS. We’re kicking off an engaging series of monthly podcasts with a look at openBIM and the future of digital twins with Fred Kloet.

Fred, Chair of FM and Open BIM and Director of Smart Workplace International, chats to host Andrew Knight about how a collaborative approach promises to boost movements like Net Zero & Build Back Better.

We hear about the opportunities presented by the advent of platforms like openBIM, and how a federated approach to data governance promises to revolutionise the impact of digital twins.

This episode of WBEF covers:

• The exciting fundamental principles behind Open BIM
• How Build Back Better and Net Zero challenges can be solved through federation over fragmentation
• Ethical issues around assets with people in them, and standards of data governance
• How integrating facility management data presents an opportunity to increase the value of real estate
