Good sustainability practices applied in buildings that use BIM technology

The growing demand for more sustainable buildings, and the effectiveness in the execution of civil construction projects, give rise to the relevance of making due use of technology to increase construction work. Building Information Modeling (BIM) creates and uses the compressed computational data of a building project. This parametric knowledge is common in the work for risk management, document formulation, performance anticipation, cost estimation, problem solving and idealization. The problem question of the work was: “How can civil construction companies apply strategies through the BIM tool to reduce environmental impacts in the construction of buildings?”. The following general objective is to analyze the BIM tool applied to sustainability in the construction of buildings. This work was a bibliographic review. To define the work step by step, we used Bryman's recommendation (2008), which advises starting by understanding the topic, choosing information sources, data collection, data analysis, interpretation and proposal, and finally , result. Finally, it is worth highlighting that the use of BIM should not be considered a simple method of adopting a development model, but rather it is a multidisciplinary tool intended to correlate and enhance complex sectors in the design of sustainable engineering projects. .
