This paper presents the progress of an investigation developed in 2016, whose general objective was to set a methodology for the life cycle assessment of clay masonry in Cundinamarca State, based on the evaluation of energy resources consumption. Recently, progress in the study of energy efficiency in the production of the brick industry in Cundinamarca State have been developed, taking into account the equipment of combustion and / or fuel injection, as well as the combustion process and its proper functioning. On the other hand, regardless of the development of eco-labels methodologies type I, the LCA in this industry does not constitute an element that leads to an eco-label type III regulated by ISO 14040: 2006. This data could be an input for national and local sustainable construction policies, energy efficiency, low-carbon growth, environmental product declaration, and also, makes it as easy to deploy of standards under the Colombian Environmental Seal of the Ministry of Environment, and whose main goal is to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency from the construction industry and the brick industry.
