Triple Glazing Performance for Human Thermal Comfort: Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

This study investigates the development and performance of triple-glazing technologies in buildings, highlighting the increasing need for human thermal comfort. Despite the popularity of bibliometric analysis in business research, there remains a lack of quantitative analysis and in-depth evaluation specific to glazing technologies. This research employs Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and Bibliometric-Quantitative Analysis (BQA) methods, utilizing the PRISMA framework to select and screen 214 articles. Descriptive analysis and scientometric statistics are conducted using bibliometric software. Key findings reveal trends in thermal comfort, environmental impacts, energy performance, and cost-effectiveness of triple-glazing technologies. The analysis identifies primary challenges, such as managing condensation, balancing insulation with solar gain, and addressing the complexities of installation and initial costs. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of current advancements and the factors influencing the adoption and implementation of triple-glazing technologies, thereby contributing valuable insights to sustainable building practices.
