The concept of life cycle analysis has supported the development of methodologies for environmental assessment of buildings that emerged in the 90’s as part of the strategies for the attainment of local environmental targets set at the ECO’92. Each European country, as well as the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong, has its own assessment system. All of them deal exclusively with the environmental dimension of building sustainability. This paper presents and briefly compares the main initiatives on environmental assessment and rating systems, emphasizing the inadequacy of simply importing existing methods based on their success in countries with latitudes, social, economic and environmental conditions far different from those in Brazil. Finally, it discusses the expectations regarding the participation of Brazil in the Green Building Challenge, as well as the strategies to develop research in this field in this country. Pesquisas visando reduzir os impactos ambientais de edifícios têm sido amplamente estimuladas por agências governamentais, instituições de pesquisa e pelo setor privado de diversos países. O conceito de análise do ciclo de vida tem sustentado o desenvolvimento das metodologias para avaliação ambiental de edifícios que surgiram na década de 90 para auxiliar no cumprimento de metas ambientais locais estabelecidas a partir da ECO’92. Atualmente, praticamente cada país europeu, além de Estados Unidos, Canadá, Austrália, Japão e Hong Kong, possui um sistema de avaliação de edifícios. Todos estes sistemas concentram-se exclusivamente na dimensão ambiental da sustentabilidade. Este artigo apresenta e compara sucintamente os principais sistemas de avaliação ambiental de edifícios e evidencia a impossibilidade de mera importação de métodos existentes com base no sucesso alcançado em países com latitudes e condições sociais, econômicas e ambientais sensivelmente diferentes das do Brasil. Discutem-se as expectativas referentes à participação brasileira no projeto Green Building Challenge, assim como as estratégias para desenvolver pesquisas nacionais sobre o tema.
