Trends in bioclimatic design strategies for climate change–induced heat stress mitigation based on a literature review
摘要
The rapid urbanization of cities has made maintaining thermal comfort increasingly challenging across various climates. This systematic review examines bioclimatic design strategies from January 2000 to February 2025, focusing on their effectiveness in reducing heat stress and improving thermal comfort in urban environments. A bibliometric analysis using R Studio’s Biblioshiny and VOSviewer identified key research themes and significant contributions to the field. The study examined bioclimatic design trends, highlighting innovations that enhance building thermal performance and occupant comfort. It assessed climate change impacts on human health, particularly heat stress in urban areas, and analyzed how bioclimatic design mitigates thermal stress and discomfort. The research also explored the effectiveness of passive design strategies across varying urban climates and identified urban planning measures to improve resilience against heat-related risks. The findings emphasise the need to integrate climate-responsive design with urban planning to create thermally comfortable and resilient cities amid ongoing climate change.
