Abstract

This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of research trends in sustainable architecture, with particular emphasis on the keywords energy savings, green buildings, and thermal comfort. Using a bibliometric approach, this article analyzes the development of relevant literature in the field of sustainable architecture, identifies research patterns, and uncovers the evolving international collaborations. The publication period between 2020-2025 with specific limitations led to the emergence of 56 documents for analysis. Scopus' in-built analysis system and VOSviewer  were used to generate graphical and visual analyses of research trends. Scopus' built-in analysis system and VOSviewer were used to generate graphical and visual analyses of research trends. This study highlights the countries involved in research on building materials, façades, and thermal performance, which has attracted contributions from various nations. The results of sustainable architecture research in this study contribute to the development of more sustainable and attractive built environments worldwide.
