Abstract: In the continuous growth trend of global energy demand, the energy consumption of building cooling occupies a significant proportion. The utilization of alternative or partially alternative energy-input cooling methods in buildings, for example, the application of radiative cooling technology to building roofs, can effectively achieve better cooling performance. This has a positive impact on reducing energy consumption in the building field and slowing down global warming. This paper uses bibliometric analysis methods to systematically review the application of radiative cooling technology on building roofs. The development trajectory, hotspot issues, cutting-edge trends, and future research prospects in the research field over the past 20 years are analyzed and summarized. This study provides insights for the scaled application of radiative cooling technology in buildings and references for the application of radiative cooling technology in the field of architecture to reduce energy consumption, improve energy efficiency, achieve energy conservation, carbon reduction, and sustainable development.
