BIM methodologies to support the regeneration of the existing building heritage

Dealing with the enhancement of the existing heritage means improving the quality of life in the urban environment. In fact, promoting regeneration actions on heritage means recognizing social and cultural values but at the same time managing urban changes in the light of livability needs with a view to reducing consumption. In this sense, operating in urban areas certainly implies complex actions that require a new and advanced digital approach capable of providing detailed information on even very large areas to support decisions. Currently, most of the operations on existing assets generate a significant impact especially from an environmental point of view. Therefore, it is necessary to act in advance through interdisciplinary approaches that guarantee an optimal evaluation and management of the problem right from the origins. The following contribution proposes the use of the Building Information Modeling methodology as a design tool for redesigning the relationship between man and the environment in which he lives, in line with the indications on sustainable development promoted by the European Union within the Agenda 2030.
