HBIM applied to risk management: workflow for data integration

Preventive conservation of cultural heritage requires the integration of information from multiple sources in order to anticipate and mitigate deterioration risks. However, fragmentation and lack of interoperability between environmental monitoring systems, digital models and risk management tools limit the effectiveness of preventive strategies. This article proposes an interoperable workflow between Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) and the ABC Method for Risk Management in Cultural Assets. The proposal is based on the structured integration of environmental, semantic and geometric data within an HBIM environment to support the operational stages of the ABC System for Cultural Heritage Risk Management. The workflow is applied to a pilot case at the Real Colegio-Seminario de Corpus Christi in Valencia, Spain, where three spaces with different uses and environmental conditions were analysed. The results demonstrate the technical feasibility of the workflow and show its potential to improve the organisation, traceability and visual communication of the information required for risk management. By associating monitoring records with spaces, materials and heritage elements, the proposed workflow supports a more integrated reading of potential deterioration scenarios in preventive conservation.
