Systematic literature review of life cycle sustainability assessment system for residential buildings: using bibliometric analysis 2000–2020

Sustainability Assessment systems are developed and conducted for underpinning decision-making and relevant policies of environment, economic and social context. The term sustainability assessment was initially acknowledged in the early 2000s and still is gaining importance in the field of construction. There are many life cycle sustainability assessment systems available worldwide, but there are very tickle of studies summarizing life cycle sustainability assessment systems peculiarly in residential buildings. In the light current scenario, a systematic literature review was carried out considering sustainability assessment for residential buildings throughout building life cycle stages. The purpose of the study focuses on the extraction of relative literature using PRISMA methodology for identification of articles and performed bibliometric analysis 2000–2020 using the VOSviewer tool, this tool helps to analyze the extracted data from the database in a graphical visual form. Few research studies recognize the actual parameters to assess the sustainability, and ability of a building using a life cycle assessment system in residential buildings especially. This study identifies articles from Scopus and the web of science database and extracted the annual publication on the topic, the contribution of authors, citation count of articles, the contribution of various countries, persistent journals, and keywords. This study would help researchers and policy-makers working on the development of sustainability assessment decision-making frameworks for residential buildings across the world with a clear perspective of real work being done in this area and required research gaps and future work recommendations.
