- Abstract
In the recent context of environmental sustainability awareness, a new trend has emerged in the construction industry: the use of green energy and green jobs. Such practices are particularly frequent in the mentioned sector, precisely because it is amongst those with the greatest energy use and workforce demand. Such a trend characterizes the green building phenomenon, on which the present work aims at achieving a deeper understanding of by analyzing its evolution, examining the most studied topics, and verifying whether they are related to current studies. To this end, a literature review of the most recent works, as well as a bibliometric analysis of papers published in the Scopus database, have been carried out. Next, the collected material was subjected to a deductive content analysis, followed by an Intraclass Correlation Analysis. Findings point to a convergence of the most studied topics within the three analyzed fields (green building, green jobs, and renewable energy), which are also strongly correlated.
