An Approach to Multi-Attribute Assessment of Indoor Environment Before and After Refurbishment of Dwellings/Daugiatikslio Gyvenamųjų Namų Vidinės Aplinkos Vertinimo Prieš Ir Po Renovacijos Būdas/ Комплексная Оценка Внутренней Среды Жилых Домов До И После Реновации

Abstract

Abstract. The paper analyses the correspondence between the present state of indoor environment and needs of habitants and the Lithuanian Hygienic Norm. To investigate the correspondence the authors (a) distinguish measures (attributes) of evaluating dwelling houses and their importance, (b) choose a method of processing the values of attributes, (c) choose a method of evaluating the efficiency of refurbishment and/or renovation of a building and (d) investigate dwelling houses in Naujoji Vilnia and evaluate the efficiency of refurbishment and/or renovation. As a result of the analysis the authors propose an approach to multi-attribute assessment of dwelling houses before and after refurbishment and/or renovation and evaluation of its efficiency. The experiment results, obtained by measuring five dwellings in Naujoji Vilnia, show that the renovation process was the most efficient for the second dwelling.

Possibilities of using sulphur and plant origin waste for light-weight and thermal insulation construction composites

“…Major energy inputs go to the construction and heating of premises, and therefore, as investigations have revealed (Nanazashvili 1990;Kazragis et al 2004;Kazragis, Gailius 2006;Zavadskas et al 2009), the aforementioned waste can be used for the production of construction composite products with enhanced thermal insulation properties. However, this requires an appropriate binding agent.…”

Function-Space Assignment and Movement Simulation Model for Building Renovation

“…Simulations have previously been used to monitor building performance (Hong 2000) in areas such as renovation scheduling simulation (Lee 2012), and occupant evacuation planning (Yang et al 2005), etc. In addition, the majority of renovation research in existing buildings has focused on the multi attribute assessment (Zavadskas et al 2009), multiple criteria evaluation (Kaklauskas et al 2005;Zavadskas, Antucheviciene 2007), and decision support system (Kaklauskas et al 2008). Relatively little research simulates occupant movements in the function-space assignment of existing buildings.…”

A New Fuzzy Additive Ratio Assessment Method (Aras‐f). Case Study: The Analysis of Fuzzy Multiple Criteria in Order to Select the Logistic Centers Location

“…Authors of this paper applied and developed a lot of MCDM methods to solve the problems in transport, economics, management and construction (Zavadskas et al 2008b;Turskis et al 2009): MEW (Завадскас 1987;Zavadskas et al 2009a), ordering feasible alternatives of making solutions in terms of preferability technique (Завадскас 1987;Turskis 2008), Additive Ratio Assessment Method (ARAS) Zavadskas et al 2010c), SAW-G (Zavadskas et al 2010b;Medineckienė et al 2010), COPRAS-G (Zavadskas et al 2008a(Zavadskas et al , 2009b, a new logarithmic normalization method in the Game Theory , Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of the Ratio Analysis (MOORA) (Brauers and Zavadskas 2006;Brauers et al 2008) etc.…”
