Aplicação do BIM em projetos de instalações elétricas prediais: Um estudo de caso

Abstract

The compatibility need between complementary projects inside the construction industry is getting more and more present on civil engineers’ daily life. In order to perfect project design, which value this feature, the Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become indispensable. Advantages like smart workflow on tridimensional models, database control and project compatibility are features offered by BIM. This work consists on presenting a case study about BIM technology’s use on an electrical installation of building project, utilizing Revit software, OF Elétrico plugin and the Brazilian technical standards for the project’s sizing and modeling. In order to apply the mentioned tools, it will be used as link a six-story building architectonic project, provided by the XX company, which will contain six apartments per floor (from four base models), one common use ground floor and two destined for water tanks. The programs’ performances were satisfactory once it was possible to optimize the working time, identify interferences and obtain the quantitative.
