A Digital-twin Based Conservation of Campus Historic Buildings under Sustainable Development Framework

The construction of Chinese campuses has entered a phase focused on existing assets, and a number of campus buildings recognized as built heritage have emerged. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive sustainable development framework for the conservation and renovation of these buildings. This paper first identifies the sustainable development goals for historic buildings in campuses through literature review and theoretical analysis. Subsequently, a sustainable development framework for campus historic buildings integrated with Digital Twins technology is proposed, with applications of certain aspects of the framework illustrated through case studies. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of digital twin applications in campus historic buildings, incorporating sustainable development principles. Additionally, it provides a reference for applying the digital twin sustainable development framework in other practical projects.
