“…Of tender evaluation criteria is a multidimensional competition rule that contractors can find connected to organizational competitiveness like technical competence, management expertise, marketing and financial resources (Liu et al 2017). Watt et al (2009) proposed nine parameters of tender evaluation criteria, namely organizational experience, project management expertise, tendered price, technical expertise, past project performance, reputation, method/solution, client-supplier relations, and workload/ capacity.…”

Abstract. Recent years have witnessed the diversifying means of competitive bidding, where the client plays a critical role in the determination of competition rule. It is widely recognized that the competition rule should be placed on a win-win basis to ensure that both the client and contractors are well considered with respect to their interests. Nevertheless, a vast majority of biddings fail to take account of what contractors really want. Using the methods of literature review and content analysis, 34 tender evaluation factors are proposed to compose the competition rule in China. Contractors' opinions on these factors are collected by virtue of questionnaire survey. Based on the Pareto law, it is found that the competition rule encompasses eleven key factors, and the composition varies slightly between public and private sectors. The Hotelling's T test is conducted on those key factors in common. The implication is that contractors can use indifferent factors (e.g., credit rating, construction plan, completeness of bid components, timely payment to workers) to improve competitiveness, while the client may utilize different factors to diversify the competition rule. This paper probably presents an earliest effort put to examine the acceptability of competition rule in the construction context.

“…In the multi-criteria approach, tender evaluation criteria stay at the core of the competition rule (Liu et al 2017). The client who runs the game as a referee reserves the right to amend tender evaluation criteria and requires tenderers to react to what they truly want as described in tender documents (Ng, Skitmore 1999;Fu et al 2003).…”

“…In the context of energy conservation, the building sector has attracted increasingly worldwide attention, as building sector consumed 32% of the world's energy in 2010 (IPCC, 2014) and the percentage of building energy consumption (BEC) is around 40% in many developed countries (IEA, 2016;Ürge-Vorsatz et al, 2012). With the further development of urbanization, issues on energy and emission reduction in buildings will become more prominent in China since the building sector is a major energy consumer (Cai et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2017;Mi et al, 2017;Zhang and Peng, 2017).…”

China's energy consumption in the building sector (BEC) is not counted as a separate type of energy consumption, but divided and mixed in other sectors in China's statistical system. This led to the lack of historical data on China's BEC. Moreover, previous researches' shortages such as unsystematic research on BEC, various estimation methods with complex calculation process, and difficulties in data acquisition resulted in "heterogeneous" of current BEC in China. Aiming to these deficiencies, this study proposes a set of China building energy consumption calculation method (CBECM) by splitting out the building related energy consumption mixed in other sectors in the composition of China Statistical Yearbook-Energy Balance Sheet. Then, China's BEC from 2000 to 2014 are estimated using CBECM and compared with other studies. Results show that, from 2000 to 2014, China's BEC increased 1.7 times, rising from 301 to 814 million tons of standard coal consumed, with the BEC percentage of total energy consumption stayed relatively stable between 17.7% and 20.3%. By comparison, we find that our results are reliable and the CBECM has the following advantages over other methods: data source is authoritative, calculation process is concise, and it is easy to obtain time series data on BEC etc. The CBECM is particularly suitable for the provincial government to calculate the local BEC, even in the circumstance with statistical yearbook available only.

“…Multi-attribute decision-making is a problem in which a decision-maker evaluates a finite set of alternatives associated with multiple attributes. It is widely used in various areas such as management [ 1 , 2 ], the environment [ 3 ], economy [ 4 , 5 ], technology [ 6 ] and engineering [ 7 , 8 ]. Due to the uncertainty of the actual decision-making environment and the limitations of human cognition, the decision-making information usually consists of grey numbers for a decision maker in the evaluation of the alternatives, such as interval grey numbers [ 9 , 10 ] and extended grey numbers [ 11 ].…”

In view of the multi-attribute decision-making problem that the attribute values are grey multi-source heterogeneous data, a decision-making method based on kernel and greyness degree is proposed. The definitions of kernel and greyness degree of an extended grey number in a grey multi-source heterogeneous data sequence are given. On this basis, we construct the kernel vector and greyness degree vector of the sequence to whiten the multi-source heterogeneous information, then a grey relational bi-directional projection ranking method is presented. Considering the multi-attribute multi-level decision structure and the causalities between attributes in decision-making problem, the HG-DEMATEL method is proposed to determine the hierarchical attribute weights. A green supplier selection example is provided to demonstrate the rationality and validity of the proposed method.
