Abstract

This study explores the research landscape of building envelope energy efficiency through bibliometric analysis (BABEE). Data from Scopus was meticulously examined, revealing a significant increase in research activity over recent decades, reflecting growing global awareness of energy efficiency in buildings. The analysis focused on high-quality articles from reputable sources. Relevant information was extracted using stringent criteria and statistical methods. VOSviewer software then visualized key patterns and trends within the research. The findings provide valuable insights into prominent researchers, frequently explored themes, and the importance of building envelopes in reducing energy consumption. The study highlights the integration of renewable energy sources and the growing trend toward life cycle assessments. Emerging trends, such as switchable materials and smart windows, offer promising avenues for future research. This comprehensive analysis adds valuable information to the BABEE field, serving as a resource for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers. By understanding the current research landscape, we can collaboratively design more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.
