HBIM in the management of cultural assets

The research addresses the process of creating an HBIM (Historic Building Information Modeling) model aimed at assisting in the operational and maintenance management (O&M) of cultural assets, accessible to the public, combining theoretical research with the application of experimental methods. The thesis is structured with a literature review and documentary resources, an in-depth analysis of a case study involving the execution of the HBIM modeling procedure, and the validation of the model's use in the management O&M of the study object. The research involved a bibliographic search of theoretical references on the subject, including a literature review (LR) to assess its relevance. The case study focused on the Solar da Marquesa de Santos Museum, located in São Paulo, dating back to the 18th century, whose architecture incorporates various construction systems. The process utilized three types of software: BIM modeling, BIM file viewer, and spreadsheet software. The cultural asset management team confirmed the effectiveness of the HBIM model in the management O&M, testing its applicability using mobile devices. The development of the HBIM model for the Solar allowed acquiring knowledge of various methods for modeling irregular structures and developing a method to assist in the management O&M of these assets. Although the objective was achieved, some issues prompted reflection, including challenges in modeling irregular elements, interoperability problems (data interpretation), and the realization that the HBIM model does not simultaneously accommodate the precise digital representation of the cultural asset (such as, for example, inclined walls) with incorporated information.
