Application of Compromise Programming to a semi-detached housing development in order to balance economic and environmental criteria

Abstract

Versión / Versió:Pre-print requirements, leaving a significant amount of room for the Member States to establish their specific mechanisms, numeric requirements and ways to implement them, taking into account local conditions. With respect to the Spanish case, the search for buildings that are more energy efficient results in a conflict between users' economic objectives and society's environmental objectives. In this paper, Compromise Programming is applied to help in the decision-makingprocess. An appropriate distribution of types of dwellings, according to their energy performance and to the climatic zone considered in Spain, will be suggested. Results provide a compromise solution between both objectives.

Programacion y compromiso. Como equilibrar dos objetivos, economico y ambiental, en una promocion de viviendas

“…En España existen 12 zonas climáticas, según el CTE, definidas en función la demanda energética de los edificios (Ruá y Guadalajara, 2013). Cada una de las capitales de provincia españolas está adscrita a una zona y la calificación de la zona se corresponde con la de la capital provincial.…”

Estimating a threshold price for CO2 emissions of buildings to improve their energy performance level: case study of a new Spanish home

“…In the building sector, this consideration has been taken from the cost-benefit analysis viewpoint (Verbruggen, 2012) and from the compromise-programming perspective to balance private and social aspects (Ruá and Guadalajara, 2013). Based on these considerations, we chose to include CO2 emissions in our analyses.…”
