Desarrollo y aplicación de la metodología BIM para la planificación y ejecución de un proyecto inmobiliario en la ciudad de Quito : odelación y cálculo de instalaciones hidrosanitarias de cada edificio y de áreas comunales usando herramientas BIM, con optimización de consumo de agua y diseño de reutilización del líquido vital.

Abstract

The project focuses on the design and modeling of hydrosanitary installations in Quito, using the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology in search of optimization management of construction projects and water consumption, extending to the sustainable reuse of this vital liquid. Through a collaborative approach, it seeks to centralize project information in a digital model, improving efficiency and sustainability in construction. Although Ecuador currently lacks BIM regulations, the ISO 19650 standard and manuals from advanced countries are adopted to guide the preparation of essential documentation. The use of modern technologies, such as dual-flush toilets and faucets with aerators, is proposed to reduce water consumption. Additionally, the collection and reuse of rainwater is planned, integrating cisterns into the design to supply toilets and irrigation systems. The project scope includes the modeling of 18 towers, ensuring compliance with the NEC 11 Chapter 16 guidelines. In conclusion, strategies are identified to decrease the demand for potable water, and the economic and environmental impact of the proposed improvements is evaluated. Results indicate an annual savings of 37.69% in potable water usage, highlighting the importance of implementing sustainable practices in construction. Effective collaboration among project participants and the use of international documentation are recommended to improve the understanding and application of BIM in Ecuador.
