ABSTRACT
Objective@#To grasp the research dynamics and development trend of the thermal environment of campus buildings in China, so as to lay the foundation for in depth research and provide a reference basis.@*Methods@#Based on 479 documents in CNKI from 2000 to 2020, the documents were visualized and analyzed by keywords, including co occurrence, clustering, outbreak and author cooperation network in CiteSpace.@*Results@#In the past 20 years, the research on thermal environment of campus buildings in China had gone through a period of formation development growth, and was at a high growth stage now. The word frequency of "thermal comfort, thermal environment, indoor thermal environment, natural ventilation" was greater than 50, which was a high frequency keyword. The highest outbreak rate of "green campus" was 3.75, and "university library, university building, microclimate and green building" was in the outbreak period. And LIU Jiaping, LIU Zehua, WANG Hongguang and others were highly productive authors and have formed cooperative network groups with their own cores, but the cooperation among the network groups was less to be strengthened.@*Conclusion@#The research dynamics of the thermal environment of campus buildings is closely related to the policy development in China, and the research on "green campus, campus energy saving optimization, and university buildings" based on human thermal comfort theory is a hot topic of continuous attention.
