Using Digital Twin Technology to Support a City Reaching Net Zero Carbon by 2030

We’re excited to be featured in the latest B1M documentary discussing how, through Digital Twin technology, we’ve helped a 270-year-old mansion and surrounding buildings within Glasgow’s Pollok Park to reduce energy use and provide the best possible solutions to enable the park to meet its net-zero targets.

IES created a live Digital Twin for Glasgow City Council to provide greater understanding of Pollok Country Park’s complex eco-system, helping the Council, citizens and other key stakeholders see first-hand how and where energy is used and generated across the estate.

The Digital Twin is being used to inform decision-making on how to make the park energy independent and take it off-grid, generating energy and heat locally. It has allowed the Council to test out different scenarios virtually to understand the opportunities and limitations of various net zero approaches.
