Abstract: Sustainability assessment of buildings gained importance during the early 2000s and is still topical. Numerous building sustainability assessment systems exist worldwide, and there are several systematic reviews of sustainability assessment systems for buildings, especially on Green Building Rating Systems. However, only a trickle of studies documented and summarized the published literature on the development of assessment systems for measuring building sustainability. The current study employs bibliometric analysis to bring out the publication trends on the topic using the open-source R-package tool 'bibliometrix'. The tool translates the data extracted from online database to various visualized forms. Considering the wider coverage, the current study identified articles from Scopus database and analyzed the annual publication trends, author contribution, citation count of articles, contribution of various countries, contribution of various universities, trending scientific journals and popular keywords. This article also furnishes a snapshot of co-occurrence of author keywords, collaboration between different authors, countries and institutions, co-citation of articles and the historiography based on the data extracted from Scopus. The article concludes with recommendations for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
