“…Finally, the alternatives are ranked based on their total allocated importance weights. Simplicity is a unique advantage of the CBA method used for HVAC&R systems selection by Arroyo et al (2016). However, there are deficiencies associated with the CBA method and the way in which the method is applied to the studied case.…”

“…In another study, Arroyo et al (2016) implemented a new approach of decision-making, the socalled 'Choosing By Advantages' (CBA), in order to select the most appropriate HVAC&R system for a net zero energy museum. Decision-making using CBA is solely based on the advantages of alternatives.…”

“…The proposed CBA method was not capable of dealing with this fuzziness and failed to introduce a mechanism to reflect linguistic terms into crisp numbers/values. In addition, in the case-study decision-making conducted by Arroyo et al (2016), only three primary alternative systems were considered. Also, it was not clear how the importance of the advantages associated with each alternative was assessed.…”

Buildings account for more than 40% of total energy consumption in most countries and more than 55% of this energy is used by heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems. This significant energy demand, together with the global need to impose energyefficiency measures, underlines the importance of selecting the most appropriate HVAC&R system in the early stages of a design process. However, this state-of-the-art study reveals that there is no review paper available in the open literature to critically analyse the existing methods for HVAC&R systems selection. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to critically review the body of knowledge on the adopted approach for HVAC&R systems selection. Based on the comprehensive literature review, the needs and gaps in this field are identified. It is revealed that the integration of probabilistic climate changes into the decision-making processes is one of the main areas that should be addressed in future studies. In addition, reliability and Life Cycle Cost of the systems, health and well-being, occupants' satisfaction and indoor air quality are of paramount factors that should be taken into account in the decisionmaking process for HVAC&R systems selection.

“…Most research studies focus on the implementation of CBA in the design process (e.g., Grant and Jones 2008;Parrish and Tommelein 2009;Arroyo, et al 2014a;Arroyo, et al 2014b;Kpamma et al 2015;Arroyo et al 2016). Schöttle and Arroyo (2016) and Schöttle et al (2015) did preliminary research for applying CBA in the tendering procedure.…”

Schöttle and Arroyo (2017) and demonstrate that the implementation of choosing by advantages (CBA) in the tendering procedure is beneficial for i) achieving transparency; ii) clarifying what an owner truly values in a project, and iii) assessing value, prior to requesting proposals and receiving responses. Furthermore, CBA allows decision-makers to separate the value of the technical proposal versus the cost of the proposal; thus, a bad technical proposal cannot be compensated by a low bid. This paper explains how CBA can be applied in the tendering procedure and also how to adjust the CBA tabular method for public procurement. The authors explain the process steps of the method and outline what the owner needs to define before requesting and evaluating proposals. Finally, based on the constructed case of Schöttle et al. (2015) the procedure is analyzed and discussed.
