Abstract
Contemporary design often neglects natural ventilation, worsening energy consumption. Combining eco-friendly design with architectural principles can mitigate this issue. Using the VOSviewer program, a tool for visualising bibliometric analysis of research trends on natural ventilation techniques, focusing on their role in improving energy efficiency and reducing cooling demands. The analysis examines 3,651 papers that discuss natural ventilation, focusing on its role in improving energy efficiency and reducing cooling demands in residential buildings. The study identifies key patterns and emerging passive techniques like windcatcher, woodcarving, Mashrabiya, Kumiko, and latticework, as well as areas for future research. The study also identifies funding gaps in the research and suggests targeted strategies, mainly passive ventilation methods.
