Abstract In the engineering domain, representing real-world objects using a body of data, called a digital twin, which is frequently updated by "live"measurements, has shown various advantages over traditional modelling and simulation techniques. Consequently, urban planners have a strong interest in digital twin technology, since it provides them with a laboratory for experimenting with data before making far-reaching decisions. Realizing these decisions involves the work of professionals in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) domain who nowadays collaborate via the methodology of building information modeling (BIM). At the same time, the citizen plays an integral role both in the data acquisition phase, while also being a beneficiary of the improved resource management strategies. In this paper, we present a prototype for a "digital energy twin"platform we designed in cooperation with the city of Regensburg. We show how our extensible platform design can satisfy the various requirements of multiple user groups through a series of data processing solutions and visualizations, indicating valuable design and implementation guidelines for future projects. In particular, we focus on two example use cases concerning building electricity monitoring and BIM. By implementing a flexible data processing architecture we can involve citizens in the data acquisition process, meeting the demands of modern users regarding maximum transparency in the handling of their data. © 2023 ACM.
