Aplicação da tecnologia BIM na avaliação de desempenho térmico em habitações de interesse social, conforme a NBR 15575

Abstract

The present study considers the importance of computer programs in built spaces analysis to develop designs with satisfactory levels of habitability. The base of this research was a case study in social housing architecture applied in different bioclimatic zones, where it was assessed the thermal performance according to the ABNT BNR 15575:2013 recommendations. This research aims to gauge the thermal performance in the social housing using Autodesk® Revit, a Building Information Modeling (BIM). The use of this technology has been growing and widespread among construction professionals, mainly in architecture offices, where it is the tool used to develop architecture design. Along with other support tools such as OpenStudio and EnergyPlus, simplified methods of evaluation and thermal simulation according ABNT NBR 15575:2013 was developed to create a critical foundation on the conceptual design phase that is important to ensure acceptable environmental comfort level for social housing.
