The indicators of sustainability are variables that summarise relevant information in order to identify the level of building sustainability in the urban environment. Most of the available and recognized assessment tools adopt indicators related to urbanized reality where buildings are located. The remote areas of environmental interest – e.g. Antarctica – have different peculiarities when compared to traditional urban environments. The Antarctic presents one of the worst conditions of habitability on the planet. The rigorous environmental conditions and peculiarities affect, or even difficult the construction process, especially when it aims to construct buildings based on sustainable principles. Thus, sustainability indicators traditionally used in densified urban areas do not apply in Antarctica, warning of the need of develop specific indicators. So, this research has aimed to propose procedures for the definition of sustainable indicators compatible with the peculiarity of Antarctic constructions, considering specially its characteristic of environmental fragility. The method consisted in: the survey of Antarctic conditions and study of environmental assessment tools for buildings; preparation of lists of indicators List 1 (from the analitical framework SPR) and List 2 (indicators from the assessment tools); grouping of lists; evaluation by Antactica researchers and; analysis of results; achieving the final set of indicators. The result of the analyses obtained 91 indicators and pointed out the relevance of the indicators of environmental sustainability aspects, with emphasis on challenging themes such as logistics, material selection, environmental impacts, generation of waste and user comfort.
