Abstract:
Technical and technological advances have revolutionised the architecture, engineering, and construction industries in recent decades. Building information modelling (BIM) methodology has become essential in the process of information management and the development of building projects. This study aims to analyse the potential advantages of the implementation of BIM-based models for the acquisition of theoretical and procedural knowledge about building acoustics. This procedure was implemented as part of a problem-solving exercise in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) university degrees. For this purpose, three-dimensional (3D) BIM models were generated to assess the contribution of their implementation in the process of visualization, comprehension, and analysis of the acoustic behaviour of buildings. The participants' experiences and satisfaction with the BIM models were measured through a questionnaire. The results showed a high level of satisfaction among the participants and good potential for the application of 3D models based on BIM methodology for the acquisition of knowledge and practical skills in building acoustics. These results highlight the potential of BIM models to provide information for understanding the procedure followed during data collection in the experimental analysis and to facilitate the understanding of system behavior.
