Bibliometric data was imported to CiteSpace where a three-stage analysis was conducted based on development trends: 1998–2007 initial development; 2008–2015 quick development; 2016–2018 differentiation phase (Fig. 10). CiteSpace was used for word frequency and co-word analysis. The basic principle of co-word analysis is to count a group of words ap...
In the early stage (Fig. 11), “green building” and “sustainability” were the main two clusters. Economics and “environmental assessment method” both had high betweenness centrality of 0.34 which were identified as pivotal points. Purple rings denote pivotal points in the network. The relationships in GB were simple at the initial stage of developme...
In the rapid growing stage (Fig. 12), pivot nodes and cluster centers were more complicated. Besides “green building” and “sustainability,” “energy efficiency” was the third hotspot word. The emergence of new vocabulary in the keyword network indicated that the research had made progress during 2008–2015. Energy performance, energy consumption, nat...
In the years from 2016 to 2018 (Fig. 13), “green building,” ”sustainability,” and “energy efficiency” were still the top three hotspots in GB research. Zero-energy building (ZEB) became a substitute for low energy building in this stage. ZEB was first introduced in 2000 (Cao et al. 2016) and was believed to be the solution to the potential ramifica...
Compared with the article analysis, patents can better reflect the practical technological application to a certain extent. We extracted the information of green building energy-related patent records between 1998 and 2018 from the Derwent Innovations Index database. The development of a technique follows a path: precursor–invention–development–mat...
Sustainable structural design (SSD) has gained a lot of research attention from 2006 to 2016 (Pongiglione and Calderini 2016). The S-curve of structure* (Fig. 14) has just entered the later period of the growth stage, accounting for 50% of the total saturation in 2018. Due to its effectiveness and impact, SSD has overtime gained recognition and is ...
The material resources used in the building industry consume massive quantities of natural and energy resources consumptions (Wang et al. 2018). The energy-saving building material is economical and environmentally friendly, has low coefficient heat conductivity, fast curing speed, high production efficacy, wide raw material source and flame, and w...
The energy system mainly included a heating system and ventilation system according to the patent analysis. So, we analyzed solar power systems and air conditioning systems separately. Heat* included heat collecting panels and a fluid heating system. The results indicated that heat*-, solar-, and ventilation-related technologies were in the growth ...

Feb 1, 2022 · The interrelation of ‘nature’ and architecture has a long history, as exemplified through a few selected examples (Fig. 1).The legendary Hanging Garden of Babylon is believed to have been a magnificent construction in classical antiquity that was adjacent to the water source and filled with a rich variety of trees, shrubs, and grapevines in terraced gardens.

Aug 1, 2021 · A recent study in Oslo found that residents living close to the city center reported higher anxiety, even after controlling for neighborhood deprivation and individual characteristics (Mouratidis, 2020b). Possible factors behind certain mental health risks in cities are the loss of connection with nature, intense life rhythms, overcrowding, and ...
