“…Also another challenge in implementing the European Green Deal is seen in the diversity and division among the member states regarding the climate policies (Haas & Sanders, 2020;Dupont & Torney, 2021). The objectives, measures, and policies implied by the European Green Deal concern several aspects already researched by academics, such as agriculture (Montanarella & Panagos, 2021;Bartolome et al, 2022), building refurbishments (Pohoryles et al, 2020Napoli et al, 2020;Arbulu et al, 2021;Buckley et al, 2021;Loli & Bertolin, 2021), technology (Hainsch et al, 2021), transport (Hass & Sander, 2020, urban tourism (Popescu et al, 2022), regional development (Piontek, 2020) and economic recovery (García Vaquero et al, 2021;Kougias et al, 2021;Bongardt & Torres, 2022), etc. Building refurbishments, as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to reduce resources consumptions for heating, triggered our attention towards renovating residential flats.…”

“…In the last years, the construction industry implemented various technologies and used products in line with the sustainability aims, so the new buildings and the refurbished ones had to meet not only the economic criteria, but also the environmental ones. Considering the old buildings, these are proved to consume more electricity than the new ones, so the owners face refurbishment needs (Risholt & Berker in Loli & Bertolin, 2021) in order to reduce their bills and to protect the environment and the natural resources, as well. Building refurbishments ensure one of the European Green Deal's objectives, more exactly, reducing the external energy dependency.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the world forever and all the limits imposed against spreading the virus, determined changes in humankind’s perspective and behaviour: concerns on health increased, and so did the needs to explore and live in the moment. Definitely, the latter perspective is prone to higher consumption, and so the high demand impacts inflation levels, as well. Since the pandemic started, Romania faced increasing prices, but the last gas price is the ultimate challenge affecting even more the living standards. The need to reduce consumption and save energy is evident more then ever, and this challenge should be considered as an opportunity for highlighting the importance, and shaping sustainable consumption behaviour. Nowadays energy efficiency measures are a must in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and also the import costs of energy, improving the security of supply, and achieving a sustainable energy supply. This paper focuses on implementing the European Green Deal’s objective in Romania, on building refurbishments. These and retrofitting are very popular practices around Europe, used in improving households’ comfort and reducing heating bills; these are the direct effects the population perceives, but there are a lot more concerning energy resources and pollution. The present paper assess them focusing on Oradea, a Western Romanian city. Our research involves direct observation of investments and heating consumption’s level, and our first findings prove a positive impact of these strategies on consumption, even if the pandemic changed the way of living and working, and so the whole consumption level was affected.

“…A new hypothesis materialised to foster the perception of carbon-neutral buildings in a broad context, such as communities, neighbourhoods, and districts, rather than a specified objective (Figure 9i). This review indicates the potential to reduce carbon emissions for entire facilities of a neighbourhood area and not just each separate building [128,129].…”

This study aims to comprehensively depict a thematic evaluation within the context of carbon-neutral buildings over this century at variable time phases (2000–2008, 2009–2016, and 2017–2023). The overarching objectives of this study are delineated into three (3) contexts. Firstly, a bibliometric network encompassing influential research documents, authors, prominent journals, organisations, and countries is erected in pertinent fields. Secondly, significant terms are extracted from the scientific literature to exhibit co-occurrence patterns. Finally, an analysis of the evaluative clusters across variable phases was conducted to ascertain their intricate interrelations. The software tool VOSviewer Version 1.6.19 successfully achieves the initial objectives by visualising networks based on co-authorship, citations, co-citations, and bibliographic coupling. The ultimate goal of this research is fully realised through the application of the Science Mapping Analysis Tool (SciMAT), Version 3, which facilitated the evaluation of diverse clusters, phases, and thematic domains. The findings from the initial stages of research conducted on carbon-neutral buildings primarily revolve around energy-savings measures, environmental impacts, and the pursuit of energy-efficient design. As the research progressed into subsequent phases, the scope of inquiry broadened into specific themes, such as (1) optimisation, (2) retrofitting, (3) transitioning, and exploring (4) phase change materials (PCMs). Moreover, the areas of study continued to expand by developing diverse scenarios, algorithms, and digital twin technologies. The graphical representations of the strategic diagrams, evaluation areas, and cluster networks are a valuable resource for practitioners and policymakers, offering valuable insight and understanding of the multifaceted landscape of thematic evaluation in carbon-neutral buildings, thus facilitating further investigations and informed decision making.
