“…They employ simplified room/zone thermal mass balance models and use accurate yet complex system models to depict the rapid dynamic response of each component under various control strategies. Another group, including EnergyPlus [25,28,31,35,36,44,64,67,68,70,72,76,[83][84][85][86], DeST [73,77], WUFI ® Plus [30], and IDA-ICE [74], focuses primarily on the long-term dynamic thermal performance of buildings and systems. Therefore, they utilize comprehensive room/zone models and simplified system models, making them more suitable for simulating the annual energy consumption of buildings.…”

“…However, they possess user-friendly features, making them convenient and suitable for architects and engineers in the building industry. Design-Builder is widely recognized as the most popular simulation software [23,26,28,31,32,42,44,45,53,65,68,76,83,88]. Additionally, Autodesk REVIT [42,87,[89][90][91] and SketchUp [67,72,86], as Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, are also commonly used.…”

“…Complex Proportionality Assessment (COPRAS) is another way of multi-criteria decision analysis. Its core idea is to determine the relative performance of each solution under different criteria by comparing each solution with other solutions [76]. To avoid the influence of subjective factors, entropy weighting can be used to make the weight allocation of indicators more objective [102].…”

Under the backdrop of China’s national strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, efforts are underway across governmental, corporate, societal, and individual sectors to actively explore energy-saving renovations in existing buildings. Given that residential buildings constitute a significant proportion of the total energy consumption throughout the lifecycle of buildings in China, sustainable renovation of residential structures can contribute significantly to implementing China’s carbon emission reduction policies. While there exists a plethora of technological means in the market aimed at improving the energy performance of residential buildings, there still needs to be a more systematic discussion on the framework for sustainable renovation of existing Chinese residential buildings, with knowledge dissemination still needing to be more cohesive. In this context, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the field, utilizing bibliometric methods. Through a systematic review of selected peer-reviewed literature from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, the study focuses on the sustainable renovation of existing Chinese residential buildings, categorizing the process into three main stages: sustainable renovation, building performance simulation and suitability assessment. The paper also reviews the research methods adopted by previous researchers in the renovation, simulation and assessment stages, considering various optimization algorithms, variables, objectives, and software tools. Subsequently, the paper synthesizes a research framework comprising these three stages combined for different research objectives, aiming to assist policymakers, designers, and researchers in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the implementation status of sustainable renovation in existing Chinese residential buildings, identifying barriers to implementation, and formulating more efficient renovation policies and strategies for the future.

Retrofitting existing residential buildings presents a feasible approach to improving energy efficiency. Therefore, recognising the critical success factors (CSFs) for residential building energy retrofitting (BER) has remained a significant topic in this climate change era. However, given the fragmented nature of past findings, this study reviewed past studies on the CSFs for residential BER. Utilising Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, 138 studies were initially examined, with 33 meeting the inclusion criteria and synthesised according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The review started with a bibliometric analysis, including publication trends, types, geographical focus, etc., and found growing interest in this topic amongst authors in China, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and Europe. The scoping review results highlight seven overarching themes of CSFs: project-, contract-, stakeholder-, team-, financial-, regulation-, and material/technology-related. Notably, the most emphasised across the studies were stakeholder-, project-, regulation-, and financial-related CSFs. A further review of the included studies revealed that the dominant methods used in past studies were factor analysis, regression analysis, social network analysis (SNA), and structural equation modelling (SEM). This study provides valuable insights for regulatory bodies, construction professionals, project managers, and homeowners seeking to develop customised retrofitting solutions, advancing residential BER research and practice. Further research is suggested to understand how combinations of factors can drive retrofitting success across varied contexts.
