ResumenEn la actualidad el sector construcción afronta dos importantes retos relacionados con disminuir el impacto ambiental de sus proyectos y lograr una mayor eficiencia en los procesos constructivos, entregando a los clientes soluciones apropiadas que cumplan los requisitos. Como respuesta a la necesidad de lograr proyectos que respondan adecuadamente a las necesidades del entorno han surgido en los últimos años metodologías de integración de proyectos, conocidas como Building Information Modeling (BIM), que permiten generar modelos digitales de proyectos que contribuyen a minimizar errores, detectar tempranamente incompatibilidades y permiten a los participantes trabajar de manera integrada. Estas metodologías tienen una notable sinergia con la sostenibilidad, pues a partir de las modelaciones digitales es posible conocer aspectos el desempeñode los proyectos durante su vida útil y poder analizar diferentes opciones que minimicen sus impactos ambientales. El presente estudio se enfoca en determinar el desempeño, en términos de sostenibilidad, de un proyecto de construcción de una edificación en Colombia, utilizando una plataforma BIM para determinar a partir de simulaciones el consumo energía eléctrica, huella de carbono por materiales y la energía incorporada total del proyecto, generando diseños alternativos y analizando los resultados contemplando la viabilidad económica de los escenarios planteados.

The construction sector is currently facing two important challenges with regard to minimizing the environmental impact of its projects and improving the efficacy of the construction processes, providing clients with adequate solutions that meet their requirements. In response to the need to complete projects that satisfy environmental requirements, methodologies for project integration known as Building Information Modeling (BIM) have emerged in recent years. These methodologies enable the generation of digital models that contribute to minimizing errors and to the early detection of incompatibilities, and they allow participants to work in an integrated manner. These methodologies show notable synergy with sustainability, as digital modeling provides information about the performance of projects during their useful life, enabling the analysis of different options to minimize their environmental impact. The objective of the present study is to examine the performance of a construction project in Colombia in terms of sustainability by using a BIM platform to determine the electrical energy consumption, the carbon footprint of materials, and the total energy incorporated into the project using simulations. In addition, the generation of alternative designs and the analysis of the results will be performed considering the economic viability of the proposed scenarios.

... Today, research on green building design and the use of environmentally friendly building materials has increased to reduce negative environmental effects [42]. Some researchers have investigated BIM [43][44][45], green building techniques [46,47], and the use of waste materials techniques [48,49] to achieve environmental sustainability in the construction industry. According to Dobson et al. [9], although sustainability increases the cost of construction, the use of sustainable construction methods provides savings in carbon emissions and the operating costs of structures. ...

... Building Information Model (BIM) is a multi-dimensional model information integration technology based on computer-aid design technology and other information technology, which can transmit information such as the three-dimensional geometry of buildings, the materials of building components, the price and the progress of construction of the project through digital information simulation [5]. The generation of BIM technology has changed the traditional calculation method, which simulates the reality of building carbon emissions at various stages through numerical information, which is conducive to understanding the effectiveness of green technology used in all stages of construction and provides technical support for setting the benchmark for green buildings [6]. ...
