“…In such conditions, buildings' temperature is not controlled and significant variations throughout a single day may occur. In cold climates this scenario his not observed as the indoor environment is fully controlled by HVAC systems [12][13][14]. In hot and humid climates the situation is different.…”

“…A phase study in childcare centres confirmed that indoor air quality is associated with disposition for asthma diagnoses [15]. Ventilation rates also play an important role in pupils' learning performance [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and students' academic achievements [25]. The positive effect of ventilated schoolrooms on the reduction in absence due to illness was also discovered in these studies [26,27].…”

Indoor climate comfort is important for school buildings. Nowadays, this is a topical problem, especially in renovated buildings. Poorly ventilated school classrooms create improper conditions for classrooms. A post-occupancy study was performed in a school building in temperate climatic conditions. The evaluation was based on the results of long-term monitoring of the natural ventilation strategy and measurements of the carbon dioxide concentration in the school classroom’s indoor environment. The monitoring was carried out in an old school building that was constructed in the 1970s and compared to testing carried out in the same school classroom after the building was renovated in 2016. Surprisingly, the renovated classroom had a significantly higher concentration of CO2. It was found that this was due to the regulation of the heating system and the new airtight windows. The occupants of the renovated classroom have a maintained thermal comfort, but natural ventilation is rather neglected. A controlled ventilation strategy and installation of heat recovery units are recommended to solve these problems with the classroom’s indoor environment. Microbiological testing of the surfaces in school classrooms also shows the importance of fresh air and solar radiation access for indoor comfort.

“…Interestingly, "thermal comfort" is also linked to "air quality" and "indoor air pollution", as is stated in [25,26]. This cluster also groups "hvac", with "energy conservation", "computer simulation", "mathematical model", "optimization", and "control" [27][28][29][30][31], and "elevator", with "Monte Carlo method" and "high rice building". The second cluster, in green, links "building services" with "intelligent buildings" (also related to control in cluster 1), "bems", and "control system".…”

The building sector, as a major energy consumer with high direct and indirect CO2 emissions, plays a vital role in the fight against climate change. In order to make buildings more comfortable, functional, efficient and safe, building services are used. Therefore, building services are the key to decrease their contribution to climate change. Due to the lack of organized literature on this topic, this paper presents the first comprehensive assessment of trends in the literature on building services related to climate change, which was completed by conducting a bibliometric analysis of the existing literature on the topic. The ultimate goal is to provide a source where researchers and other interested parties can find this information in an organized manner. Results show that the most abundant and recent studies related to building services are based on improving energy efficiency by optimizing systems such as ventilation or lighting, the latter with the installation of LED lights. In addition, recent studies have focused on social factors such as housing and urban growth.
