BIM for recycling management in architectural design

The paper aims to analyse and propose the modelling of buildings for the purpose of the recycling concept. In this way, a more up-to-date and innovative concept can be concretely considered that allows a more exact prediction of the useful life of both individual components and the entire building. This modelling, of an exquisitely technological nature, can allow right from the initial design, in the case of new constructions, an increase in design quality in synergy with the maintenance design in order to significantly raise the achievable performance levels with both economic and environmental benefits. A more in-depth study will concern already realised buildings to which criteria will have to be applied with corrective input parameters according to the residual useful life. Furthermore, a case study is presented concerning a building constructed in 2006 in the municipality of Frattamagiore in the province of Naples. A digital twin of this building was realised according to the BIM methodology, using the Edificus software of ACCA, a leading company in the sector, moving from geometric modelling to technological modelling. It should be noted that for the purposes of the research no destructive surveys were carried out, and that for the knowledge of construction techniques, a visual survey was adopted, supplemented by the study of available documentation.
