Digital Twins (DTs) are quickly becoming popular in multiple application domains, from industrial production environments to cultural heritage sites and smart cities. In this landscape, DTs for educational buildings offer a promising approach towards achieving energy efficiency, circularity and sustainability, and an important new smart city application domain, among other aspects. While there have been recent examples of DTs for university campuses, examples for primary and secondary school buildings are few and far between. In this work, we present our implementation of a DT for two secondary education buildings in Greece, involving IoT infrastructure, 3D digitization, data analytics, energy modeling, 3D annotation and segmentation, while discussing its potential application within several scenarios. We also discuss a number of the aspects related to educational building DTs. Overall, such DTs can offer several new application opportunities to the smart city community.
