Advancing SDGs with IoT: Enhancing thermal comfort and energy efficiency- A bibliometric study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: There is a large body of research on the Internet of Things (IoT) utilization to achieve Thermal comfort while maintaining Energy efficiency (IoT-TE). Based on the proposed hypothesis, IoT-TE research is highly relevant to SDG 7 and SDG 11. Therefore, this paper conducts a bibliometric analysis of publications that support SDGs in IoT-TE. 873 articles from the Scopus database up to December 2023 were analyzed. IoT-TE research predominantly supported target was 7.3 Target. This is the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of IoT-TE literature supporting SDGs. The identified research gaps will influence IoT-TE research future directions and encourage cooperative research efforts.
