Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are pivotal in modern urban planning, offering digital tools to enhance efficiency. BIM streamlines design, construction, and management via 3D models, while GIS analyzes spatial data for insights. Integrating these systems presents complexities arising from their distinct natures. Challenges encompass data format disparities, intricate BIM model alignment with broader GIS perspectives, and balancing scale and precision. Despite disparities, integration holds promise for sustainable infrastructure practices. Many studies aim to overcome these challenges, integrating BIM and GIS for various applications. This paper proposes an integration method using Autodesk Revit, ArcGIS, and Autodesk InfraWorks, providing a comprehensive visualization in a GIS environment for urban planning professionals. A case study in Reggio Calabria, Italy, demonstrates successful BIM-GIS integration, enhancing energy efficiency interventions.
