jailcd2024019: Climate-Responsive Building Design: A Scientometric Analysis in CiteSpac

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive scientometric analysis of climate-responsive building design (CRBD) utilizing the CiteSpace software. It explores the evolution, current state, and future directions of CRBD research by analyzing data sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection. The study reveals an increasingacademic interest in CRBD, particularly post-2009, highlighting its significance in sustainable architecture. Through systematic data retrieval, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and cluster mapping, the research identifies key areas of focus, including thermal comfort, building performance, the impact of climate change,
energy consumption, and the integration of vernacular architecture principles. The paper delves into the technological advancements and intelligent solutions enhancing the adaptability of buildings to climaticconditions, as well as the socio-economic and policy dimensions shaping the implementation of CRBD. It also emphasizes the importance of regional studies and applications, underscoring the necessity of context-specific
strategies. Despite its growth, the field faces challenges such as the need for long-term evaluative studies and the integration of CRBD in broader urban planning and socio-cultural contexts. The study concludes with a forward-looking perspective, recognizing the shift towards regional adaptability, performance optimization, interdisciplinary collaboration, and policy development as pivotal trends shaping the future of sustainable and climate-responsive built environments.
