Integración de la metodología BIM en el desarrollo del proyecto Edificio de uso mixto NOVAHABITAT, ROL LIDER ARQUITECTURA

Abstract

This thesis develops the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the selection of a façade system for the NOVA HABITAT project, a multifunctional building located in Puyo, Ecuador. From the role of BIM Manager, planning, coordination, and control processes were implemented based on international standards (ISO 19650), with the aim of optimizing information management and ensuring project sustainability. The research included the development of a BIM Execution Plan (BEP) and the definition of Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), which enabled the integration of digital tools in the 4D (time), 5D (cost), and 6D (sustainability) dimensions. In addition, life cycle analyses of materials and passive design strategies were incorporated, prioritizing energy efficiency, environmental comfort, and carbon footprint reduction. The results demonstrate that the implementation of BIM not only facilitates technical decision-making during the design stage but also ensures coordinated and efficient execution, aligned with digital transformation policies in construction. Consequently, this study establishes a reference framework for similar projects in Ecuador and Latin America, highlighting that BIM adoption provides added value in quality, sustainability, and resource optimization.
