A Combination of DEMATEL and BWM-Based ANP Methods for Exploring the Green Building Rating System in Taiwan

Abstract

Green buildings are a crucial environmentally friendly component for sustainable human habitation and for the preservation of a healthy ecosystem. This study proposes a novel hybrid model to explore the influential relationship of various indicators and their importance for a green building evaluation system. First, a green building index system is established based on a review of recent literature on green building evaluation systems. Then, the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique is utilized to determine the influential relationship among the criteria. Finally, a novel best worst method (BWM)-based analytic network process (ANP) model is applied to determine the influential weight of the criteria. The result indicated that the top five ranked criteria are all classified within the two dimensions of waste reduction and energy saving. An empirical case study of an example in Taiwan is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. Management implications are also provided.

Importance‐Performance Analysis of Prefabricated Building Sustainability: A Case Study of Guangzhou

“…Different evaluation systems will vary with different national backgrounds and cultures. Understanding the relationship and importance of the criteria used in these assessment systems is necessary to help practitioners and governments implement measures to encourage sustainable construction [29]. However, the number of studies to explore the relevance and weight of these evaluation criteria is limited.…”

“…erefore, considering the interdependence of criteria in the weighting process is important [28]. Analytical network process (ANP) is a useful method to deal with the interdependency among criteria in complex systems [29]. On this basis, this study attempts to modify IPA technology by taking the comprehensive weight of ANP and entropy weight method as the measurement of the importance of each item to improve the shortcomings of traditional IPA method in the measurement of the importance of the item in IPA technology.…”

Supplier Selection in the Nuclear Power Industry with an Integrated ANP-TODIM Method under Z-Number Circumstances

“…However, very few scholars paid attention to the selection of nuclear power equipment suppliers, except for Yang and Wu et al [38,39]. In a recent study, researchers focused on supplier selection in the agricultural industry [40], construction industry [41], and manufacturing industry [42]. Nevertheless, with the restarting of global nuclear power, the equipment suppliers of nuclear power projects have shown a large-scale growth trend every year.…”

“…In recent years, the environmental awareness of the company and the government has gradually increased, and many nuclear power equipment suppliers increasingly focus on efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection equipment, and Research and Development (R & D). It has also become an important indicator to measure the corporate social responsibility of suppliers [7,41,47].…”

Belediyelerde Performans Ölçümü için D-ANP Temelli bir Kurumsal Performans Kartı Uygulaması

“…Abikova mülteci kamplarının yerleşim yeri seçimi için DEMATEL-ANP yöntemlerini birlikte kullanmıştır (Abikova, 2020). Aynı yöntemin bir başka hibrit şekli yeşil bina derecelendirme problem için uygulanmıştır (Liu, Lo, & Liou, 2020). Benzer şekilde sürdürülebilir gıda imalatının stratejik haritalaması için TOPSİS yöntemiyle birlikte kullanılmıştır (Ocampo, Deiparine, & Go, 2020).…”
