The construction industry is a growing sector in countries that are prosperous in economic development, leading to the new studies that drive this sector. Thus, it appears that the buildings have a great relationship with thermal environment, due to their constant exposure to those factors. This can influence the productivity of workers, compromising the execution of construction. This paper aims at investigating the influence of the thermal environment in building at elevated heights, establishing a relationship with productivity. For that, was done a systematic bibliographic research in more than 30 electronic sites of scientific papers with international scope, seeking to establish the stat of the art starting from the papers published in the last ten years. The definition of portals to search was based on the list included in the Metalib for Exlibris. It appears that there is a relationship between the subjects studied, although most of the survey does not include all the issues, which shows that future works to be performed in this area tend to bring great contribution in the academic community.
