Summary:The need to meet user requirements to achieve better performance of buildings has been increasingly discussed in recent times, particularly in Brazil, after the release of the NBR 15575 code - Performance of Housing Buildings. This code establishes a series of requirements, inducing a change in the way designs are being developed. This paper aims to identify and evaluate the studies already carried out regarding implementing the NBR 15575 and its impact on the national construction industry. As a research methodology, a Systematic Literature Review was adopted to identify the studies of interest and classify them into thematic groups, according to the user requirements established by the performance standard. The methodological procedure consisted of searching, selecting, and evaluating the five databases' results in the last ten years. Fifty-one studies were selected for analysis. In general, they indicate that, despite the advances already made, some obstacles still have to be overcome in order that the code may be applied more effectively. The articles' distribution into thematic groups provided an overview of the current research stage in this theme and helped to evaluate existing research on the topic.
