Abstract
AbstractHistoric Building Information Modelling (HBIM) is characterised by the potential to manage and disseminate information about the built heritage. This review aims to investigate the recent tools and technologies carried out so far against fire in historic buildings. From the research in five databases, Scopus, Web of Science, INSPEC, Academic Search Ultimate and Current Contents Connect, from 2016 to 2021, 91 articles were initially selected, and after critical analysis, 25 relevant studies were collected for this review. The results indicate that few approaches were developed to evaluate the use of BIM in the analysis of fire safety in historic buildings, the relevant articles collected involving this theme were limited to presenting a methodology for adequate performance evaluation, as well as to configuring a procedure for interoperability between programs, moreover, to a mechanism to assist evacuation without significant changes in structure. However, when only the relationship between fire safety and historical building is evaluated, the results indicate a more significant number of studies that can be grouped into different approaches: Proposals of New Measures, Update on Implemented Measures, Evaluation of Fire Protection and Fire-Resistant Material. The results show that there are several methods to assess and improve the buildings protection against fire and the implementation of HBIM is an important tool which will improve the understanding of the past, the present and provide the tools for the safe future of historic buildings.KeywordsHistoric buildingsOld buildingsFire safetyBuilding information modelling (BIM)Historic building information modelling (HBIM)Evacuation
