The increasing attention on the environment impacts of the activities of the companies is a phenomena that arise from many industrial sectors. Regarding the construction and property industries, in last decades the acknowledgement of their responsibilities for the environment caused a shift in how buildings are designed, built and operated.

The requirement of always more innovative and sustainable technologies and materials for buildings takes shape from two different point of view of the global construction industry. The basis of these two different orientations of the world construction sector would be found in the divergent demand of the developed and developing Countries.

The measurement of the environmental performance of new and existing buildings is fundamental to weigh up the effects and the potential improvements of the building energy regulations. In last decades many building performance assessment tools were developed in order to sustain the “Green Building philosophy”. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) system is considered one of the most popular green building certification program used in worldwide. In the developing countries scenario many tools rose from the LEED system, that is one of a reference framework for researches. In this paper we purpose a short review on the researches of the role of the buildings energy regulations in developing countries and the development of building performance assessment tools in Colombia, Qatar and Jordan. The aim of this analysis is to purpose the integration of Building Rating Value (BRaVe) system to the existing tools developed in the developing countries. The BRaVe system would contribute to upgrade the variables used for a comprehensive evaluation of a building thank you to the application of a “cross-disciplinary” criteria that embrace different thematic or scientific areas.
