Construction projects demand a higher amount of energy predominantly for heating, ventilation, and illumination purposes. Modular construction has come into the limelight in recent years as method that uses sustainable building materials optimizes efficiency. Ventilation openings buildings are designed to facilitate air circulation by naturally driven ventilation could aid reducing consumption projects. However, knowledge gap makes it difficult propose best dimensions buildings. Hence, aim this work is empower decision-making process terms proposing opening toward use management A novel framework presented herein evaluate impact metal frame modular Brazil, using information modeling. The were constructed their evaluated eight Brazilian cities, based on bioclimatic zone (BioZ) classification indicated ABNT NBR 15220: Curitiba (1st BioZ); Rio Negro (2nd São Paulo (3rd Brasília (4th Campos (5th Paranaíbe (6th Goiás (7th de Janeiro (8th BioZ). study results show same model would vary each BioZ Brazil. For instance, modeling unit city consume around 50% compared Janeiro, small sizes smallest openings. Similarly, Curitiba, Paulo, Brasília, Campos, Paranaíba, reduce 40%, 34%, 36%, 18%, 20%, 16%, respectively, constructing This help practitioners professionals design towards increasing efficiency sustainability.
