“…As far as cultural heritage is concerned, there are some contributions that adopt multicriteria analysis and methods for the evaluation of cultural heritage (e.g., [56][57][58][59][60]), nonetheless to the best of our knowledge there are very few contributions on the application of PROMETHEE methods in the multicriteria evaluation of cultural heritage. In detail, [61] propose an integrated method that combines the Delphi method, fuzzy analytical hierarchy process, and PROMETHEE for the thermal renovation of masonry buildings characterized by a significant heritage value in Algeria; whereas, [62] implement PROMETHEE II to support the design and implementation of reuse strategies for the Ceva-Ormea abandoned railway and evaluate tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The present paper contributes to the above strand of literature, and presents a novel application of PROMETHEE II to the evaluation of adaptive reuse strategies of abandoned industrial heritage in vulnerable contexts, such as the Tanaro Valley in Northern Italy.…”

In recent years adaptive reuse has proven to be a promising strategy for preserving cultural heritage. When the adaptive reuse approach is used for cultural heritage, the expected outcome is not only the building protection, but the preservation of its historical and heritage significance, and the trade-off between the retention of symbolic values and the adaptation to new alternative (economically profitable) uses becomes of paramount importance. Decisions on the allocation of resources for cultural heritage preservation or development are based on a set of multiple, often conflicting, criteria, as well on the preferences of various, and not always consensual, stakeholders, who attribute different relative importance to market and non-market effects of adaptive reuse proposals. In this context, multiple criteria approaches provide a proper theoretical and methodological framework to address the complexity which characterizes adaptive reuse strategies of cultural heritage. This paper aims to contribute to this strand of literature by proposing a multicriteria decision aiding approach for ranking adaptive reuse strategies of cultural heritage. In detail, we present a novel application of the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment of Evaluations (PROMETHEE) to support the design and implementation of adaptive reuse strategies of abandoned industrial heritage in vulnerable contexts, and evaluate relative tangible and intangible effects. Industrial sites are frequently left to deteriorate, as their preservation is not considered as important as other kinds of heritage structures. Nevertheless, they are characterized by special architectural and technical features as well as by huge spaces suitable to be redeveloped for new uses. The paper focuses on the potential reuse of nine different abandoned buildings located in an industrial valley in the North-West of Italy, with a strong presence of wool and silk factories starting from the 18th century.

The residential sector is well known to be one of the main energy consumers worldwide. The purpose of this study is to select the best renewable energy alternatives for electricity generation in a residential building by using a new integrated fuzzy multi-criteria group decision-making method. In renewable energy decision-making problems, the preferences of experts and decision-makers are generally uncertain. Furthermore, it is challenging to quantify the reel performance of renewable energy alternatives using a set of exact values. Fuzzy logic is commonly applied to deal with those uncertainties.The method proposed in this paper combines different methods. First, the Delphi method is used in order to select a preliminary set of renewable energy alternatives for electricity generation as well as a preliminary set of criteria (economic, environmental, social, etc.). Then, the questionnaire is used to study the renewable energy alternatives preferences of the residents of the residential building'. Later, the FAHP (Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process) is implemented to obtain the weighs of the criteria taking into consideration uncertainties in expert's judgments. Finally, the FPROMETHEE (Fuzzy Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) global ranking is performed in order to get a complete ranking of the renewable energy alternatives taking into account uncertainties related to the alternatives' evaluations.The originality of this paper comes from the application of the proposed integrated Delphi-FAHP-FPROMETHEE methodology for the selection of the best renewable energy 2 alternatives for electricity generation in a residential building. A case study has validated the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method. The results reveal that the proposed integrated method helps to formulate the problem and is particularly effective in handling uncertain data. It facilitates the selection of the best renewable energy alternatives in a manner that is participatory, comprehensive, robust, and reliable.

“…Mohammed Seddiki and Karima Anouche 26 proposed an integrated approach combining Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and FPROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) to rank different thermal insulation solutions. The study considered the perspectives of building users, who deemed investment cost and energy consumption reduction as highly important criteria.…”

The energy efficiency and sustainability of existing buildings have become a critical concern in Algeria’s efforts to reduce energy consumption and mitigate environmental and economic impacts. To address this challenge, a systematic and effective decision-making method is required to select optimal building retrofit measures in alignment with Algeria’s 2030 energy strategy. In this study, we propose an innovative approach based on the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP), a widely used multi-criteria decision-making method, to evaluate and prioritize different retrofit measures. The FAHP allows decision-makers to have a comprehensive framework for making informed choices by incorporating independently proposed economic, environmental and technical criteria. The results demonstrate the high significance of retrofit measures that enhance thermal insulation, with double glazing and roof insulation emerging as top priorities. Sensitivity analyses confirm the stability and robustness of the decision-making process. This approach offers valuable insights for policymakers and building professionals seeking to implement sustainable and energy-efficient retrofitting strategies in Algeria’s construction sector. By aligning with the country’s energy goals, this decision-making method contributes to achieving a more sustainable and environmentally responsible built environment.
