Dimensionamento do sistema predial de água fria: desenvolvimento de plugin para Revit

Abstract

The rise of the BIM (Building Information Building) within the scope of hydrosanitary building systems brings with it several challenges and possibilities to reduce costs, increase the added value of the product, amortize project preparation time and, consequently, increase productivity. That said, it was identified from the literature and the observation of the project market the existence of the lack in relation to the automation of the dimensioning of the domestic cold water (DCW) building system. From this, the present work aims to produce an artifact in the form of a plugin for Revit, BIM software widely used in the market. To this end, the Design Science Research methodology was used to build the research, the Microsoft integrated development environment, Visual Studio, combined with the C# programming language and, of course, Revit. To validate the artifact, the system modeling was scaled using an Excel spreadsheet in order to compare the values obtained with the plugin. From this, the results found were in agreement with each other. Therefore, it is expected that the present study will reach both the academic public, in order to foster interest and continuity of research in the area, as well as the professional public, aiming to increase assertiveness and productivity in the BIM project market as a whole.
