This paper presents the results of research that aims to integrate environmental sensors and BIM authoring platforms to monitor and predict water consumption in a residential environment. It also aims to establish strategies to promote sustainable and conscious consumption to the user, in addition to facilitating the operation and maintenance process. Thus, it contributes to an intelligent building, which has this name due to the monitoring of parameters and the collection of data from the internal environment. Therefore, this study presents a prototype for monitoring residential water consumption, being an exploratory and experimental research. The method is based on the association of different digital tools, prototyping boards and sensors to provide the integration of the real building with a digital replica. The prototype was tested in a residential toilet to collect data and evaluate the integration between the tools, indicating through the consumption indication with visual responses based on colors.
