Abstract: Energy Consumption of Heritage Buildings (ECHBs) on construction sites has become essential in both the industry and academia as construction projects grow increasingly complex. With a prime goal of increasing its effectiveness, ECHBs research has witnessed tremendous growth over the past three decades. This research paper recruited a mixed-review method of scientometric and systematic reviews of 111 research papers on ECHBs published from 1994 to 2020 (as of mid of June). The scientometric review identified the most prolific journals, keyword correlations and geospatial connections between research countries in the ECHBs field. On the other hand, the systematic review analysis showed that there are five main research topics in ECHBs. These topics encompass energy efficiency, biodeterioration, environmental conditions in heritage sites, sustainability, and design for climatic conditions. Furthermore, the major approaches applied in ECHBs research were investigated. Potential research methodologies to address these research areas are also discussed.
