From 28–31 July 2024, the ASCE International Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering (i3ce2024) was hosted by Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At this conference, Mudan Wang presented a scientific paper titled “Automated Generation of Geometric Digital Twin of Roof for Building Retrofitting”, in which AEGIR was featured. 

Co-authored by Ya Wen, Yuandong Pan, Guangming Wang, Hamidreza Alavi, Soheila kookalani, Mudan Wang, and Professor Ioannis Brilakis, the paper explored a digital twin-based framework for automatically generating geometric information of existing building roofs to support retrofitting projects. 

One of the AEGIR Project’s demo sites provided laser scanning point cloud data used to validate the proposed framework, showcasing the project’s relevance in cutting-edge research on building retrofitting. 

While the University of Cambridge is not a partner in the AEGIR project, the inclusion of one of its demo sites in this research reflects the project’s contribution to advancing innovative solutions in the field.
