Modelagem de processos de projetos BIM para o aproveitamento de águas pluviais: validação por meio do projeto do mercado de plantas em Boquim/SE

Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable design and construction projects highlights the need for solutions that promote efficient use of natural resources and enhance urban resilience. In this context, Building Information Modeling (BIM) emerges as a strategic methodology for project development, as it enables the integration of information and the incorporation of sustainable practices from the early stages of the design process. This dissertation aims to propose a BIM project process model using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) language for rainwater harvesting, in accordance with Brazilian standards and certification systems, using the Ornamental Plants Market project, located in the municipality of Boquim, Sergipe, Brazil, as a case study. The research is characterized as exploratory and descriptive and is grounded in the Design Science Research method. The methodological procedures include: identifying gaps in the literature regarding the interface between BIM, sustainability, and water efficiency; surveying Brazilian regulatory requirements applicable to rainwater harvesting systems; developing a verification checklist based on current technical standards and the Water Management category of the AQUA-HQE™ certification; and analyzing BIM design process models in their current and intermediate states within the design office responsible for the case study. The results indicate that the application of the proposed process future modeling enabled the validation of compliance with rainwater harvesting requirements in the analyzed project, while also contributing to the qualification of the design office’s internal processes. This study contributes to the consolidation of sustainability guidelines for public project development using BIM, demonstrating the potential of process modeling as a decision-support tool for improving water efficiency in the construction sector.
