Each row contains a line chart on the left and a corresponding pie chart on the right, except for the last row, which shows a combined bar and line chart. The horizontal axis for all the line charts (a) through (e) shows four markings: 2004 to 2008, 2009 to 2013, 2014 to 2018, and 2019 to 2023. The vertical axis is labeled “Counts” and ranges from 0 to 25 in increments of 5 units. a. Multivariate Issue: Line Chart: It shows three lines: The line for “Microclimate plus Indoor thermal comfort” shows a significant increase from under 5 publications in 2004 to 2008 to over 20 in 2019 to 2023. The line for “Indoor thermal comfort plus Daylight” remains relatively low, peaking at under 5 publications. The line for “Microclimate plus Daylight” stays at a very low count. Pie Chart: A chart showing the percentage share of each issue combination. Microclimate plus Indoor thermal comfort (80 percent). Indoor thermal comfort plus Daylight (12 percent). The Microclimate plus Indoor thermal comfort plus Daylight (8 percent). b. Location (economy based): Line Chart: It shows the trend of publications by country‘s economic level. The line for “Upper High Income level countries” shows a consistent rise from around 1 to over 14 publications. The line for “Upper Middle Income level countries” rises from a low count to around 8. The line for “Lower Middle Income level countries” remains at a low count of 0 publications from 2009 to 2013, and then rises to 6 publications from 2019 to 2023. Pie Chart: It shows the percentage share of publications by location. Upper High Income (55 percent). Upper Middle Income (26 percent). Lower Middle Income (19 percent). c. Location (climate based): Line Chart: It shows four lines. The lines representing “Tropical climate,” “Dry climate,” and “Mediterranean climate” all start at 0 publications and fluctuate between 0 and 7. The line representing the “Temperature climate” shows a highest peak of around 24, from 2019 to 2023. Pie Chart: A pie chart showing the percentage share of publications by climate. The largest slice is Temperate climate (51 percent), followed by Tropical climate (24 percent), Dry climate (15 percent), and Mediterranean climate (10 percent). d. Methodology: Line Chart: It shows seven lines. The line for “Simulation” shows a sharp increase, rising to over 15 publications. The line for “Field Measurement,” “Survey,” “Documents review,” “Si plus F m,” “F m plus S u,” and “Si plus F m plus Su” remain at very low counts. Pie Chart: A pie chart showing the percentage share of each methodology. The largest slice is Simulation (Si) at 51 percent. The remaining slices are Si plus F m (20 percent), Fm plus Su (12 percent), Field Measurement (Fm) (8 percent), Survey (Su) (4 percent), and others with smaller percentages. e. Solution: Line Chart: It shows four lines. The line for “Building level” shows a significant increase, rising to nearly 18 publications. The lines for “Site level,” “Building plus Site level,” and “Research” all show moderate, but much smaller, increases and remain below 5 publications. Pie Chart: A pie chart showing the percentage share of each solution type. The largest slice is Building level (61 percent). The remaining slices are Site level (16 percent), Research (16 percent), and Building plus Site level (6 percent). f. Trend analysis: Combined Bar and Line Chart: A bar chart shows the total number of publications by time period (2004 to 2008, 2009 to 2013, 2014 to 2018, 2019 to 2023). The horizontal axis is labeled “Count” and ranges from 0 to 30 in increments of 10 units. The bars are increasing from left to right, showing the highest count for the period 2019 to 2023. A line of best fit is shown with an R-squared value of 0.9353. The second smaller chart shows the number of publications from 2021 to 2023, with a linear trendline and an R-squared value of 0.9423. All numerical values are approximated.Trend and share of themes. Source: Authors’ own work
