This study, which is Part II of a broader investigation, uses a mixed-method approach that integrates bibliometric analysis with a systematic literature review. Its purpose is to explore the research environment surrounding building energy efficiency over a two-decade period, from 2003 to 2023. The analysis reveals that China, the USA, and various European nations are prominent contributors to this research area. A key finding is the evolution of research focus, transitioning from an emphasis on individual building components to more holistic, systems-oriented methodologies. The work identifies existing research gaps and highlights emerging trends, providing a structured framework designed to assist researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in progressing the field of building energy efficiency.
This research provides a clear overview of how building energy efficiency studies have developed over two decades. By highlighting key players, evolving methods, and future directions, it helps ensure that efforts to make buildings more energy-efficient are well-informed and strategically targeted. This is vital for sustainable development and reducing energy costs.
This research offers a strategic framework for stakeholders involved in building energy efficiency. It can guide researchers in identifying promising areas for future study, assist policymakers in developing effective regulations and incentives, and help practitioners adopt best practices. This is foundational work, providing insights to inform strategic planning and development rather than offering a direct, near-market product or service.

This is Part II of a study utilising a mixed-method approach that integrates bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review to investigate the building energy efficiency research environment from 2003 to 2023. China, the USA and European nations are prominent contributors to building energy efficiency research. The emphasis of research has transitioned from individual building elements to comprehensive, systems-oriented methodologies. We delineate research gaps and emerging trends, providing a framework for researchers, policymakers and practitioners to progress in the domain of building energy efficiency.
