“…Wong et al [14] showed an application of the AHP in multi-criteria analysis of the selection of intelligent building systems. Kim et al [15] developed a housing performance 1 1 evaluation model for multi-family residential buildings considering criteria such as thermal comfort, indoor environmental quality, usability, and surroundings. In general it can be stated, that it is a very easy to implement approach, that is applicable for multiple stakeholders and multi-criteria decision problems.…”

Multi-criteria decision making under uncertainty in building performance assessment. Building and Environment, 69, Additional Information:• This is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication in Building and Environment. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published at: AbstractBuilding performance assessment is complex, as it has to respond to multiple criteria.Objectives originating from the demands that are put on energy consumption, acoustical performance, thermal occupant comfort, indoor air quality and many other issues must all be reconciled. An assessment requires the use of predictive models that involve numerous design and physical parameters as their inputs. Since these input parameters, as well as the models that operate on them, are not precisely known, it is imprudent to assume deterministic values for them. A more realistic approach is to introduce ranges of uncertainty in the parameters themselves, or in their derivation, from underlying approximations. In so doing, it is recognized that the outcome of a performance assessment is influenced by many sources of uncertainty.As a consequence of this approach the design process is informed by assessment outcomes that produce probability distributions of a target measure instead of its deterministic value. In practice this may lead to a "well informed" analysis but not necessarily to a straightforward, cost effective and efficient design process. This paper discusses how design decision making can be based on uncertainty assessments. A case study is described focusing on a discrete decision that involves a choice between two HVAC system designs. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) including uncertainty information is used to arrive at a rational decision. In this approach, key performance indicators such as energy efficiency, thermal comfort and others are ranked according to their importance and preferences. This process enables a clear group consensus based choice of one of the two options. The research presents a viable means of collaboratively ranking complex design options based on stakeholder's preferences and considering the uncertainty involved in the designs. In so doing it provides important feedback to the design team.

Numerous researchers have determined sustainability criteria relating to environmental performance but the other two sustainability components -economic and social performance -have not been taken into consideration in an integrated and hierarchy manner. Existing sustainability assessment methods (e.g., LEED, GBI, IGBC, and BREEAM) ignore the economic and social aspects, and sustainable criteria are not prioritized for decision making facilitation. To prioritize sustainable criteria for residential buildings in the triquetrous sustainability model including environmental, economic, and social in a global and integrated manner, a Fuzzy-AHP tool was employed and a structured expert-based development process comprised of seventeen building practitioners and eight academics from sixteen nations was conducted globally among carefully selected experts. A Fuzzy Weighted Hierarchy for Triquetrous Sustainability (FWH-TS) in residential buildings was developed at the end of this study. Assisted by programmers, the FWH-TS is expected to be developed into a PC software or Apps in the near future to improve construction management.

“…Best practices and technologies, aimed at controlling particle emissions during the different construction site activities, can be adopted to minimize risks from air pollution on the occupational health of site workers and the neighborhood (KUKADIA; UPTON;HALL, 2003, UNITED…, 2006COUNCIL…, 2010;ARAÚJO;COSTA;MORAES, 2014). Wastewater produced during site activities can also cause groundwater contamination and natural watercourse pollution, and therefore requires wastewater management plans that control infiltration and surface run-off (KIM et al, 2005;NETREGS…, 2012). Best practices are therefore required to minimize such risks (PULASKI, 2004).…”

Abstractustainability on construction sites and its impacts on the environment have become increasingly relevant. Large quantities of materials, water and energy, among other resources of various types and origins, are consumed on construction sites during the production activities and by the temporary facilities. This paper aims at presenting a set of criteria for the adoption of sustainable management practices on construction sites aiming at mitigating environmental impacts produced during the construction phase. An indepth case study was carried out on the new building of the Construction Chamber for the state of Bahia, Brazil. Different environmental impacts for each construction activity specific to the construction site were studied and an economic feasibility study of each solution was performed, followed by the implementation of these practices. Monitoring data was collected through checklists, indicators and periodic project management meetings. Participant observation and document analysis were also used as sources of evidence. The main findings refer to the identification of solutions, main difficulties in adopting such solutions, the development of indicators for monitoring low environmental impact on construction sites, as well as a set of recommendations for the deployment of sustainable practices on construction sites.
