Abstract
Today, all industries – especially the building industry – are faced to find environmentally friendly and smart technologies which help us to reduce the human impact on the environment and promote a global sustainable development. These solutions have to consider aspects such as economic feasibility, sustainability, and social equitability. As a result of this need, there is a wide green technologies portfolio that seeks to become the core technology, one of the most representatives being Smart Building Technologies. In this way, the aim of this contribution is to develop a bibliometric analysis that evaluates the evolution of the intellectual and cognitive structure of Smart Building Technologies that supports communities to identify, improve, and reach the research about these technologies. To do that, more than 2,398 publications from 1984 to 2020 related to Smart Building Technologies were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection and analyzed using advanced bibliometric tools, techniques, and methodologies.
