This paper aims at evaluating in what extent are the existing sustainability
assessment methodologies capable of truly reward the benefits of steel-intensive buildings in
comparison with other building construction solutions. This evaluation consists in describing
the more common sustainability assessment methodologies from the steel construction point of
view and in comparing existing assessments to steel buildings. The pros and cons of each will
also be pointed out, in order to determine the best practices of each methodology.Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS
