This article presents a didactic experience carried out with the use of a BIM tool in the Thermal Environmental Comfort discipline of the graduate course in Architecture and Urbanism of a private Higher Education Institution in the city of Salvador-Bahia. Starting in 2020, students began designing solar protection devices using a geometric model in Revit. The method described in Annex I of the Technical Regulation on the Quality of Energy Efficiency Level in Residential Buildings (RTQ-R) was applied. The results obtained showed a better understanding by the students about the importance of correctly sizing solar protection devices for different orientations.

Este artigo apresenta o resultado da análise do currículo do curso diurno de Graduação em Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Faculdade de Arquitetura da UFBA objetivando identificar interfaces entre os componentes curriculares existentes e BIM. Adotou o método proposto por [2] e atualizado [3]. Identificou 17 componentes curriculares com clara interface com BIM e outros 5 com interface possível. Destes, separou aqueles com maior facilidade de inserção do BIM, considerando a estrutura existente no curso. O trabalho é uma etapa do projeto “Célula BIM na UFBA´” e espera contribuir para a difusão do BIM no ensino de graduação de Arquitetura.
