This communication aims to present partial results of a larger study entitled "VERTICAL HOUSING: Evaluation of spatial and environmental quality of apartment buildings", which aims to diagnoses the quality of vertical housing, designed for middle-class and launched by the housing market in Brazilian mid-sized cities (Uberlândia - MG, Ribeirao Preto - SP). In this context, this paper, which focuses on the environmental quality of the buildings, was structured as follows: (i) contextualization of the problem and presentation of the general objectives of the research; (ii) description of theoretical basis of the work, through literature review; (iii) indication of the methodology used in research; (iv) description of its development. This description includes two steps concluded: (a) mapping of sustainability strategies put into practice in the Brazilian residential developments through analysis’ schemes of them; (iii) review and expansion of the post-occupancy evaluation (POE) method initially developed in other researches in order to encompass the aspects of environmental quality and sustainability of the buildings analyzed. The partial results point to the low incorporation of sustainability strategies and to the poor environmental quality of vertical buildings in the cities analyzed. The next stage of the research consists of applying the POE method developed, aiming to verify the effectiveness of sustainability strategies adopted in the buildings, as well as the level of environmental awareness of their users.
