Research Status and Emerging Trends in Green Building Materials Based on Bibliometric Network Analysis
Green building materials refer to environmentally friendly low-consumption construction materials. Their widespread adoption is hindered by high costs, limited technological implementation, and the absence of standardized regulations. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 5381 publications from 2003 to 2024, sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS), applying Sustainability Transitions Theory (STT) to classify research into Niche Innovation (new materials like phase change materials), Regime Adaptation (policies and lifecycle assessments), and Landscape Pressures (climate goals and circular economy integration). The results show rapid growth in research, shifting from basic sustainability concepts to advanced materials, lifecycle analysis, and digital technologies. Key themes include energy conservation, mechanical performance, and environmental impact, with emerging trends like carbon reduction strategies, blockchain applications in circular economies, and the integration of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in construction. Future research should focus on enhancing material durability, standardizing sustainability metrics, and developing cost-effective recycling strategies to promote wider adoption.
