Abstract
This study uses bibliometric methods (Biblioshiny 4.0 software) and VOSviewer 1.1.16 to analyse the specialised literature on the role of IT in the field of building energy efficiency, including the Web of Sciences database between the years 2007 and 2022, to locate the most pertinent authors, publications, research teams and groups, the development of the theme through time, journals, geographical regions, and ultimately the data analysis methods used. The USA, China, and Australia are the biggest contributors, where the Negev Ben-Gurion University, China-Science and Technology University, and Hunan University in Changsha, Hunan, were the three organisations that have the most scholarly works in this field. Engineering, energy, and environmental sciences make up the majority of the categories for the three most significant publications as Energy and Buildings, Building and Environment, and Applied Energy. According to the authors primarily the essential terms can be separated into the following main clusters: Energy Efficiency, Thermal Performance, Building Energy Efficiency and Optimization, Thermal Mass, Building Energy Simulation, and Energy plus. The study makes use of bibliometric analysis and the Web of Science core collection to examine how IT affects building envelope energy efficiency in a hot climate. The data will be relevant to the research scholars to identify the hotspots in the field of building energy efficiency with the help of information technology based on a specific research timeline and publications.
