Abstract
The world's energy demand has raised concerns about supply difficulties, depletion of energy resources and environmental impacts such as destruction of ozone layer, global warming, climate change, among others. Recent studies indicate that energy consumption in buildings represents more than 40% of the world's energy consumption, with more than half attributed to air conditioning systems. Specific regulations and controls of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems should provide acceptable thermal comfort and reasonable indoor ar-quality. The evolution of researches in these areas can be determined by the organization of scientific production data up to now. The objective of this study is to analyze quantitatively what was produced in terms of optimization associated to energy saving and thermal comfort in buildings. This bibliometric analysis, based on Science Direct and IEEE Xplore databases, correlates common adopted terms to quantify how optimization, especially those associated computational intelligence, are influencing on building projects where thermal comfort and energy saving are taken into account. The research generate a sample of 76 articles. At the end of this study, a statistical evaluation is presented considering authors identification, articles and journals that were more referenced by researchers in this area.
