Abstract

This study illustrates trends in sustainable architecture research with specific keywords and periods. Keywords on building, material, facade, and thermal represent the current issue in sustainable architecture. Publishing period between 1976-2020 with particular limitation applied to emerge 859 publication documents to be analyzed. Scopus on site analysis system and VOSviewer were employed to generates graphical and visual analysis on research trends. The analysis generates five significant research clusters: energy, facade technology, measurement, thermal, and climate. Besides clusters, the analysis also indicates that most of the countries involved were from Europe. Hence, this study reveals potential research on a similar topic in tropical countries which demanding sustainable building encounters a humidity challenge.
