ABSTRACT: In the performance project, several important decisions are taken in isolation and arbitrarily, without a reliable projection of the final result. The knowledge lack of that performance in the designing process waste opportunities and can transfer to the user and the environment from the errors impacts and costs for the corrections. Thus, this highlights the need of a systemic overview application between the different variables, which do the final solution of the project, with the simulation techniques and the digital evaluation that looking for the most appropriate solution. In urban context, the Integrated Modification Methodology (IMM) is phase-integrated processes that builds from urban environment already developed in a more sustainable and efficient environment, through morphological changes. Therefore, the IMM proposes simulations with pre-established indicators. This paper presents the method and analyzes its applicability in the Brazilian context from the experience performed in the Rio de Janeiro city. Besides that, seeks the reflection about how BIM platform can expand the possibilities of IMM tests.
