Abstract: This paper presents a systematic review of Building Performance Simulation (BPS) in Brazil. BPS became more recurrent in the country after the publication of the Building Labelling Program, between 2009 and 2010, and the National Standard Regulation (NBR) 15575, in 2013. From this perspective, this research drafts a framework as a result of a systematic review of literature in which 56 papers were selected from three international databases: the Brazilian collection Scielo, and other two known databases - Web of Science and Science Direct. The review recognized three main topics: Sensistivity Analysis, Thermal Performance and Daylighting. In this context it was noticed some subjects poorly explored as user behavior, modeling interoperability and the relation between regulations, towards new research fields.
Keywords: Building Performance Simulation, Systematic Review, Standards, Energy Efficiency.
