Examınatıon Of Green Buıldıng Performance Evaluatıons Through Bıblıometrıc Analysıs

Abstract

Green buildings are designed to minimize environmental impacts by considering factors such as energy efficiency and cost savings. However, their contribution to sustainability extends beyond design; monitoring their post-occupancy performance is equally essential. This study aims to explore the connection between "post-occupancy evaluation" (POE) and "green buildings". POE assesses the effectiveness of green buildings in achieving sustainability goals by evaluating performance, user satisfaction, and environmental impacts. This study utilizes a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis to evaluate the contribution of green building practices to sustainability by identifying key themes and research trends in the literature. The literature review was conducted using reliable academic databases, and studies related to POE and green buildings were selected and analyzed. The bibliometric analysis, encompassing annual citation counts, author collaborations, keyword analysis, and research trends, facilitated the identification of the achievements, challenges, and evolving directions of green building projects in performance evaluation. The findings indicate that POE methods are crucial tools for achieving the sustainability goals of green building projects. This process has been shown to contribute to increased user satisfaction and improved long-term sustainability performance by monitoring both environmental and social impacts. The study underscores the significance of POE in evaluating the performance of green buildings and puts forward recommendations for the formulation of more efficacious strategies to achieve sustainability objectives.
