Abstract

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of publications about thermal comfort in classrooms at the Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) databases, identifying the main sources, the main authors and some peculiarities of the scientific production about this theme. The study comprised a bibliographical review that was carried out from a bibliometric research, in which through a statistical analysis it was possible to map and generate some indicators for information treatment, thus constituting a quantitative and qualitative approach. In Scopus database, 231 related publications were found and 135 publications in WOS database. The comparative results showed that the number of researches related with thermal comfort in classrooms increased considerably in the last decade. It was verified that in the publications ranking, China is the country with larger number of publications. Brazil comes in 12th position at Scopus database and in 10th at WOS database. The importance of the Building and Environment journal for the subject was also verified and that for the classrooms and study environments there is a close relationship between the topics thermal comfort, ventilation and internal air quality, since these can interfere considerably on the efficiency and health of students.
