“…Green retrofit has attracted considerable attention in recent years [34,35]. In China, 95% of the existing buildings have both high energy consumption and high carbon emissions, and the Chinese government has made great efforts to promote green retrofit for such existing buildings [35].…”

Stakeholders strongly influence project success, particularly for complex projects with heterogeneous stakeholders, and hence, understanding their influence is essential for project management and implementation. This paper proposes an original model based on social network analysis (SNA), which first introduces critical success factors (CSFs) as intermediate variables between stakeholders and project success. The model can demonstrate the interrelation between stakeholders and CSFs, and the results can reveal how stakeholders influence project success. Green retrofit is a typical type of complex project. The stakeholder relationship in green retrofit projects is more complex than in new projects, since more stakeholders (e.g., tenants and facility managers) who have particular interrelations (e.g., lease contract and split incentives between owners and tenants) are involved. Therefore, a case study of green retrofit in China was conducted to illustrate how the proposed model works. The results indicated the priorities and similarities of stakeholders in green retrofit. Stakeholders are categorized into five clusters according to their relationship. Based on the results, the important role of stakeholders in green retrofit projects was discussed. The main contribution of this study is providing a novel method to reveal how stakeholders influence the success of complex projects.

* Development of energy performance contracting (EPC) was introduced in this paper. The basic models generally include energy conservation benefit payment, energy conservation benefit sharing, and energy conservation amount guarantee, etc. The essence of EPC is that energy service companies (ESCO) share the energy conservation benefits with customers. Recent progress on the critical success factors of EPC projects and the analysis methods was briefly introduced. Taking the pulverized coal industrial boiler as an example, application of EPC in energy conservation of industrial boilers was described.

“…By using DEA, the energy firms were classified, and then it utilized from DEA-DA to assess their efficiency scores and ranks. Xu and Chan (2013) aimed to use ANP to develop a model for sustainable Building Energy Efficiency Retrofit (BEER) under the energy performance contracting mechanism. Key performance indicators (KPIs) for sustainable BEER in hotel buildings and critical success factors (CSFs) for EPC were identified as being based upon a set of interview and questionnaire surveys that were previously conducted.…”

Abstract.Energy is substantial for social development and has an essential role for the survival and development of human as an environmental factor. Due to the serious increase ofthe world's primary energy price and rapid development of Turkey's economy, energy consumption of Turkey has become a major problem. For that purpose, opinions of the decision makers upon the relative importance of selection criteria are determined by using a fuzzy AHP procedure based upon type-2 fuzzy sets, and fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making based upon the interval type-2 TOPSIS method is used to rank the best renewable alternative energy. In this paper, a fuzzy multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology was proposed to determine the best renewable energy alternatives for Turkey, because type-2 fuzzy sets provide additional degrees of independence to represent the uncertainty and the fuzziness of real world applications. The results showed that wind was the best alternative for Turkey's energy investments, as being followed subsequently by solar, biomass, geothermal, hydraulic and hydrogen. The results were based upon the opinions of three energy planning experts who ranked the energy alternatives according to the ten criteria we have selected.
