Evaluación del impacto ambiental de mampuestos con modelos BIM

Abstract

The architecture is committed to forty percent of Co2 emissions. this due to the extraction of rocks, materials, minerals, expenses, distribution and transportation of materials used for the construction of social housing, among other buildings. In the case of the masonry, these represent about 15% Co2 emissions per year, which is equivalent to 10,000 trees. To counteract this problem, this research sought to evaluate the environmental impact of conventional and sustainable bricks with BIM methodology; For this, conventional materials such as clay brick, concrete and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) were characterized as resistance, transmittance and cost, to then model a 54 m2 social housing prototype using BIM tools with the materials indicated above and ending with the evaluation and analysis of the environmental impact, associated with Co2 and its variables, with the Tally complement, which is characterized by evaluating the environmental footprint of our projects to be executed. The results showed that 100% of the extraction of the clay input produces 99% contamination according to the result. 22,981 KG will be used to manufacture this social housing prototype. And the 1% of the extraction that is equivalent to transport influences pollution. On the other hand, it influences 84% of non-renewable energy with 118,516 MJ (Megajoules).

As results, we find that the use of BIM in architecture is of great preponderance, since it allows delimiting the construction in a 360° field, and permeates decision-making in early stages of design and in the future in the process of architectural growth.
