Summary: Use efficient processes for facility management, improve spatial, human, economic
and environmental performance while lowering the operation and maintenance costs
and energy expenditure over a facility's years. Since much information is generated by
a building during its life cycle, for an effective management the data must be stored
and readily accessible. In this scenario, an innovation of the Building Information
Modeling (BIM) technology, by simulating the design of the building in a virtual
environment, allows the multidisciplinarity of geometric and non-geometric information
in the same model. However, in order to integrate information from the model to the
complex information flows of an organization, other technologies that support a data
insertion not possible by BIM platform are required, functioning as a central repository
data. Thus, the objective of this research is to study the capabilities of the BIM platform
integrated to the processes of Facilities Management based on a simulation and
computational modeling, using as a case study an existing building in the UFES
campus, and to present preliminary guidelines and recommendations for the
implementation of platforms throughout the university. To do so were used the BIM
Revit® tool for modeling the building as-built BIM and the facility management software
ARCHIBUS® as the central repository data. The integration between the software was
tested through simulations of scenarios and daily activities of the University spaces
and assets management based on the chosen building. From the results and lessons
learned in the simulations, preliminary guidelines and recommendations are proposed
for the expansion of implementation for the whole University. The experiments
demonstrated the potential of technology integration, and have proved that this
interface can support planning and decision making in the facilities management
processes of a university.
