Subsidies for the implementation of H-BIM in Facility Management at FAU USP Vilanova Artigas Building

Abstract

This article represents an initial work that contextualizes the recent spatial interventions of the Vilanova Artigas Building, details the recent efforts aimed at the conservation of its built heritage, analyzes the current dynamics of the stakeholders in the management processes of physical spaces and, consequently, those of facilities of the headquarters building of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo (FAU - USP). This first stage of investigation aims to promote subsidies for the understanding of the internal management procedures and to leverage the implementation of H-BIM, thus proposing the improvement of current practices and the preservation of architectural heritage. Through qualitative approach centered on case study methodology, the research elaborates a detailed observation of the recent actions of management of the physical spaces of the building. Based on primary data sources belonging to FAU and USP (SVInfra files, Proteos USP system documents, SVInfra 2014-2020 activity reports, service orders in the SVInfra 2014-2020 Help Desk system, among others) the work raises in inaccuracies of current practices for the incursion of H-BIM technology as a tool for building life cycle management. Thus, it is believed that the implementation of H-BIM can be a tool that will facilitate the integration of theoretical works, developed in Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of FAU USP research and the practical work of the Technical Service of Infrastructure, through information management. This would result in an important contribution to the preservation of historical heritage, as well as a better use of physical and financial resources in the public sphere.
