The concept of a digital twin is associated with a BIM model - a 3D geometry with operational data integrated into it. But the reality of the market is different. Most commercial buildings were built before the 2010s and the only documentation that exists is in PDF, DWG or paper form. Creating a BIM model retrospectively is not always economically viable unless it is part of a modernisation or major renovation strategy. However, it is exactly these buildings that need to improve energy efficiency and data transparency in order to meet GEG, BEHG, CSRD and ESG requirements.
The HiPerWare platform allows creating a highly analysable digital environment without a BIM model. Instead of 3D geometry, a combination of available sources is used: - 360° photos and panoramas - for visual orientation - P&ID and single-line diagrams - to describe the logic and structure of utility systems; Telemetry from IoT sensors and meters is linked to these visual and schematic representations and allows forming an up-to-date picture of the building's operation in real time. In this form, the platform functions as a live digital system that not only visualises the building, but also understands how it lives. HiPerWare analyses the relationships between processes and identifies anomalies in system behaviour before they become malfunctions. This way, HiPerWare turns even old buildings into transparent, manageable digital assets without the need for expensive BIM modelling.
An energy check-up can be carried out based on actual data and diagrams, even without a 3D model. ESG and CSRD reporting becomes semi-automatic as all parameters are documented in a digital circuit. Operational risks are reduced because decisions are based on data rather than intuition. The platform turns operations into a self-learning environment by accumulating knowledge about the behaviour of the object, recognising recurring patterns, and helping to make data-driven decisions rather than on the “intuition of the engineer”.
Yes, the HiPerWare platform can function effectively by using actual operational data and schematic diagrams, eliminating the need for a comprehensive 3D model while still providing meaningful insights.
The HiPerWare platform simplifies ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) reporting by automatically documenting all operational parameters in a digital circuit. This automation ensures consistent, up-to-date data for sustainability compliance and performance tracking.
By basing decisions on real data rather than human intuition, HiPerWare helps organisations minimise human error and subjectivity. It continuously learns from historical data, identifies recurring patterns, and provides insights that support smarter, evidence-based decisions.
