Habitação social para ribeirinhos: projeto e análise via BIM

Abstract

The BIM methodology represents a revolutionary project design, construction, and management approach. It includes tools such as Revit and other software capable of helping to achieve more efficient and sustainable projects. Developing more sustainable projects has become increasingly important these days. Carbon dioxide emissions are a major concern worldwide, and reducing environmental impacts in the construction sector is crucial to designing a sustainable project. This work first applied the BIM methodology to a social housing project, which was part of the Casa Eco Pantaneira Project. The project aimed to improve the conditions of homes on the banks of the Paraguay River in Ladario, MS. Developed by one of the architects, the reference project used sustainable construction techniques, such as "quincha metálica" (wattle and daub with a metal structure). However, analysis of the project and the existing housing revealed inconsistencies in the reference project, including superficially mapped pathological manifestations, the absence of budget items, generic architectural solutions, and a lack of technical specifications. Using BIM, the project was revised to remedy the flaws, improve efficiency, and compare the quantities of the reference and the revised project, to understand the possible design inconsistencies. In addition, a new proposal was developed with the same conditions as the reference project. Energy simulations and carbon footprint analyses were carried out, highlighting the importance of choosing materials with a low environmental impact. The new architectural proposal emphasizes integration and accessibility, proposing a layout to promote quality of life for the resident.
