Technology can play a big part in the employee experience within modern offices, and it can be the key to boosting well-being, happiness, success, performance and even general health.
IoT devices are growing rapidly and their integration with digital twins have already seen them implemented into some offices. One of the main drivers behind their adoption is to ensure the workplace becomes more agile, giving more flexibility and choice.
Remote working has become a huge part of people’s lives since the pandemic broke out over 18 months ago and commercial real estate facilities are now understanding of the transformation offices are going through, as we switch to a world of hybrid working. Due to this, hot desking is expected to grow in popularity amongst many businesses and enabling occupiers to book rooms and desks in advance is just one of the features of Twinview to help improve their experience.
Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air and many of the cases of sick leave within a company can be directly related to the quality of the air. Twinview uses sensors to monitor the air quality within a space and indicate whether it is good or bad, allowing the facility manager to rectify the issue. Poor air quality can lead to a drop in productivity, workplace satisfaction and attendance.
By unlocking access to a building’s management systems and the data they produce, Twinview ensures that its performance can be optimised. Ultimately this leads to a more enjoyable experience for its tenants, especially when considering the change to hybrid working. On top of that, Twinview reduces a building’s impact on the environment which could also be a factor that occupiers believe improves their experience. By reducing carbon usage and moving a building closer to Net Zero, occupiers will feel good knowing that they are doing their bit to tackle climate change.
Twinview is a browser-based digital twin platform for the property sector connecting building systems’ data to a 3D model viewed on a single dashboard. Twinview becomes your first step to achieving Net Zero by providing continuous live data and an optimised building performance whilst reducing costs and improving the user experience.

Infection prevention has always been central to safe healthcare, but COVID-19 exposed how vulnerable hospitals can be to outbreaks. Digital twins like Twinview offer hospitals real-time insight into how buildings are used, from patient flow and air quality to occupancy and cleaning. By creating a live 3D model of the facility, Twinview helps teams identify high-risk areas, optimise ventilation and target cleaning where it’s needed most. It supports smarter admissions, safer waiting areas and data-driven decisions that reduce infection risks. Rather than predicting every outbreak, Twinview highlights unsafe conditions early, empowering hospitals to act fast. Integrated with IoT sensors and building systems, it enhances compliance, safety and efficiency. As digital twin technology evolves, Twinview’s potential grows, supporting AI-driven analytics, clinical integration and sustainable, infection-resilient hospital design for the future.

For students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), the physical environment can deeply influence comfort, focus and wellbeing. Routine cleaning, when not planned with sensory awareness, can unintentionally cause distress, from strong chemical smells to loud equipment or sudden changes in room layout. A platform like Twinview helps schools design predictable, sensory-aware cleaning schedules by combining data on occupancy, air quality and environmental conditions. Facilities teams can identify sensitive zones, schedule low-disruption cleaning times and track improvements over time. By integrating cleaning routines into a whole-school approach to sensory wellbeing, schools can reduce stress, improve focus and create environments that feel calm, safe and inclusive. Twinview turns everyday facilities data into meaningful action, supporting schools to build spaces that are not only clean and efficient, but welcoming and accessible for every learner.

The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) is responsible for advancing the nation’s space science and technology initiatives. To support its mission-critical operations in Hermanus, SANSA has implemented the Twinview Digital Twin platform, a unified, real-time solution that consolidates building and infrastructure data into a single intelligent system. By integrating live telemetry, asset data and facilities workflows, Twinview enables SANSA to shift from reactive maintenance to early warning, data-driven decision-making.
