A Bibliometric Exploration of Smart Energy and Sustainable Affordable Housing Research

Abstract

The increasing global demand for smart energy and sustainable affordable housing (SE-SAH) has intensified research efforts at the intersection of smart energy and sustainable affordable housing (SESAH). This study employs a bibliometric analysis to explore the evolving research landscape, identifying key trends, influential publications, and emerging themes in the field. By analyzing a comprehensive dataset of scholarly articles, the study maps the intellectual structure and highlights the most impactful contributions. The findings reveal significant research clusters, dominant methodologies, and key thematic areas that shape current discourse. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing energy-efficient housing solutions. The insights derived from this analysis contribute to a deeper understanding of the field's development and provide a foundation for future research and policy recommendations aimed at promoting sustainable housing practices globally.
