Sustainable urbanism projects and the importance of BIM technology

The concept of BIM can be defined as the set of technological techniques that help to create an intelligent system to reproduce and test construction projects. With it, it is possible to bring more sustainability to various ventures.

O QUE É O URBANISMO SUSTENTÁVEL?

Sustainable urbanism proposes to go beyond concrete and waste production, taking a step forward towards ecological balance focused on sustainability and conservation of natural resources that are so scarce today.

Within this panorama, techniques and tools are developed capable of creating true works of art in urban constructions without harming the environment. This is done by properly disposing of waste and using less and less resources, such as wood, for example.

In addition, sustainable urbanism is not only concerned with the sustainability of the items used, but with how the work will play a social role in the place where it is carried out. To this end, projects focused on accessibility, location and recycling of spaces are developed.

COMO O BIM SE TORNOU INDISPENSÁVEL PARA A CRIAÇÃO DE PROJETOS SUSTENTÁVEIS?

Building Information Modeling (BIM), which in literal translation means Building Information Modeling, is a set of resources and techniques that allow a work to be more sustainable by reducing the amount of resources and waste.

In addition to reducing waste and environmental impacts, it is very possible that the application of the BIM model will be mandatory in the coming years. This means that companies that start using it now can have a competitive advantage in the future. See some BIM applications:

Water

The BIM model helps to quantify the volume of water that will be used in a given work. The calculation helps to know exactly the amount needed, reducing unnecessary water consumption.

Energy

With regard to energy, BIM can help assess the energy efficiency of a building. It is possible to analyze with more transparency the possible alternatives and combine efficiency, economy and energy sustainability of the enterprise.

carbon emission

Finally, BIM allows several tests to be done so that the final choices have the lowest possible carbon emission impact within the financial conditions of the project.

O QUE LEVAR EM CONSIDERAÇÃO EM PROJETOS DE URBANISMO SUSTENTÁVEL?

The first step in creating a sustainable project is choosing the right materials. Choosing eco-friendly materials that help preserve natural resources is essential for a project to be truly sustainable.

Another important point is the choice of the place of origin of the materials. It is essential that it does not contribute to deforestation and that it is easily accessible to all. Thus, in addition to being sustainable for nature, it plays a social role of inclusion.

Some other alternatives can also be considered for making sustainable urbanism, such as including occupancy sensors to reduce lighting energy consumption, for example.

At the end of the project, the waste still needs to be disposed of properly or reused in other projects.
