Each section presents a group of concepts connected to a list of numbered combinations and a descriptive label on the far right. Section 1: Issues: Concepts on the left: “Outdoor microclimate,” “Indoor thermal comfort,” “Indoor daylight comfort.” Dotted lines connect these concepts to a numbered list of combinations on the right: 1. Outdoor microclimate AND Indoor thermal comfort 2. Outdoor microclimate AND Indoor daylight comfort 3. Indoor thermal comfort AND Indoor daylight comfort 4. Outdoor microclimate AND Indoor thermal comfort AND Indoor daylight comfort A bracket on the far right groups this list and labels it “Issues.” Section 2: Location (by country‘s economic level): Concepts on the left: “Upper High Income (U H I) level,” “Upper Middle Income (U M I) level,” “Lower Middle Income (U M I) level.” Dotted lines connect these to a numbered list: 1. Upper High Income (UHI) level 2. Upper Middle Income (UMI) level 3. Lower Middle Income (UMI) level A bracket on the far right groups this list and labels it “Location (by country’s economic level).” Section 3: Location (by country Specific climate classification): Concepts on the left: “Tropical,” “Dry,” “Temperate,” “Mediterranean.” Dotted lines connect these to a numbered list: 1. Tropical 2. Dry 3. Temperate 4. Mediterranean A bracket on the far right groups this list and labels it “Location (by country Specific climate classification).” Section 4: Methodological choice: Concepts on the left: “Simulation,” “Field measurement,” “Survey,” “Review of documents.” Dotted lines connect these concepts to a more complex, numbered list of combinations, including single and combined methods: 1. Simulation. 2. Field measurement. 3. Survey. 4. Simulation AND Field measurement. 5. Simulation AND Survey. 6. Field measurement AND Survey. 7. Simulation AND Field measurement AND Survey. 8. Review of documents. The simulation concept is connected to the number list 1, 4, 5, and 6. The field measurement concept is connected to the number list 2, 4, 6, and 7. The survey concept is connected to the number list 3, 5, 6, and 7. The review of the documents concept is connected to the number 8. A bracket on the far right groups this list and labels it “Methodological choice.” Section 5: Solutions: Concepts on the left: “Building level,” “Site level,” “Research.” Dotted lines connect these concepts to a numbered list of combinations: 1. Building level. 2. Site level. 3. Research. 4. Building level AND site level. A bracket on the far right groups this list and labels it “Solutions.”Theme distribution matrix. Source: Authors’ own work
