This study explores how digital twin technology is transforming building design and management amid climate change by simulating real-time environmental interactions to enhance infrastructure resilience. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, focusing on peer-reviewed studies from 2015 to 2025 that emphasize real-world applications and predictive modeling. Results indicate that digital twins can reduce energy use by up to 30%, lower operational costs by 25%, and improve climate adaptability through enhanced indoor climate control, flood risk assessment, and urban-scale planning. The study concludes that digital twins offer significant potential for sustainable development and urban resilience, though broader implementation requires addressing data integration and cybersecurity concerns.
