Digital twin technology could help transform how we deal with energy transition within our major cities. We have even demonstrated reductions in temperature within cities by 8% based on India's recent smart city project. Half of all existing buildings were built between 1960 and 1999. They are poorly-insulated and energy-inefficient.
