Desmaterialization, is a strategy considered to mitigate environmental impacts of the construction sector, it is possible to minimize the carbon, energy, and water footprint of buildings. The objective of this study is to identify strategies for dematerializing buildings, aiming to reducing carbon emissions through lower material consumption. For this, a systematic literature review followed by bibliometric analysis was carried out, seeking to identify the direction that the theme has taken in recent scientific research, as the strategies for dematerialization. The results indicate that 25% of the surveyed works are from European countries, while the remaining research is primarily distributed among China (23%), North America (11%), and Oceania (6%). With a significant research gap in Brazil (0%). Of the total 147 analyzed articles, only 11 specifically address dematerialization in civil construction. The trend of topics within the theme indicates research focused on architectural design, sustainable construction, and decision-making. Building Information Modeling (BIM) stands out as a digital tool for dematerialization. It is believed that this initial approach to the theme can contribute to the direction of related research or seeking to identify strategies for decarbonization of constructions.
