In recent decades, the machine learning theory has been developed in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), as it excludes all shortcomings of manpower, performs complex calculations without rest, and provides prediction benefits for projects. Machine learning models and algorithms extract natural models from the data set, which offers increased problem insight, better decisions, and more accurate predictions. Machine learning has a variety of methods, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, and has been used for building energy modeling in recent years. In this review paper, machine learning in building energy modeling was examined to demonstrate the publications in this area and the relationship between these topics. This paper investigated machine learning methods for building energy modeling using bibliometric analysis and data mining. Therefore, the objective of this research was to give insight into the status of machine learning uses for energy systems in the construction industry. Scientometric software was used for analysis. Deep learning is also a cutting-edge topic of machine learning in 2018 onwards, so a brief explanation in this research was provided to explore a proper connection between machine learning, deep learning, and construction energy modeling.
