Global energy use and its environmental impacts have spurred considerable research on energy usage patterns, notably in the built environment, which accounts for a large portion of worldwide energy needs. This study conducted extensive bibliometric analysis to map energy usage behavior research from 1981 until 2024. From 2005, scholarly interest increased significantly in 1,215 works. This matches the global energy conservation and efficiency movement. Most established literature concentrated on developed regions, with North America and Europe contributing significantly. There are few studies from underrepresented regions. Notable publications include ’Energy and Buildings’ and ’Building and Environment.’ These sites are important for research dissemination. The co-occurrence network of keywords like ’energy efficiency’ and ’occupant behavior’ shows the main subjects. Co-authorship research shows substantial collaboration, especially among highly productive academics, indicating a robust energy behavior academic community. The study also notes the limited use of emerging technologies like IoT(Internet of Things) and the need for cross-cultural and longitudinal studies to improve energy saving measures’ adaptability and applicability worldwide. The study also provides actionable recommendations aimed at bridging the gap between research findings and practical applications. This extensive review of energy consumption behavior research sheds light on the current state of affairs and guides future academic and practical efforts to promote more sustainable energy use worldwide.

能源使用行为研究：科学计量学评价和批判性综合


全球能源使用及其环境影响促使对能源使用模式进行了大量研究，尤其是在建筑环境中，它占全球能源需求的很大一部分。本研究进行了广泛的文献计量分析，以绘制 1981 年至 2024 年的能源使用行为研究。从 2005 年开始，学术界对 1,215 部作品的兴趣显著增加。这与全球节能和效率运动相匹配。大多数已建立的文献集中在发达地区，其中北美和欧洲的贡献很大。来自代表性不足地区的研究很少。著名的出版物包括《能源与建筑》和《建筑与环境》。这些网站对于研究传播很重要。“能源效率”和“居住者行为”等关键词的共现网络显示了主要主题。合著研究表明，双方存在大量合作，尤其是在高产学者之间，这表明存在强大的能量行为学术社区。该研究还指出，IoT（物联网）等新兴技术的使用有限，需要进行跨文化和纵向研究，以提高节能措施在全球范围内的适应性和适用性。该研究还提供了可操作的建议，旨在弥合研究结果与实际应用之间的差距。这项对能源消费行为研究的广泛回顾阐明了现状，并指导了未来的学术和实践努力，以促进全球更可持续的能源使用。
