“…In today's extremely fast-changing world, sustainable development is becoming one of the most important factors in defining high-quality buildings, which create a healthy environment for humans and reduce the negative impact on the environment. As in other spheres of life, in the construction industry, the concept of sustainable development encompasses three main stages: economic (Lizana et al, 2016), social (Kamali and Hewage, 2017) and environmental (Holmstedt et al, 2017;Kosanovic and Fikfak, 2016).…”

This article aims to create a theoretical evaluation model based on decision support methods for the residential house construction materials and elements selection. The research and analyses of most of the scientists are invoked on individual elements and materials of the building, which have an impact on different aspects of sustainability. Meanwhile, the integrated model covering all the key elements and materials of the single-family residential house has not been implemented. Thus, the problem of development of the general composite model of the element and material selection of single-family buildings is acute in many countries around the world. Our study assessed the specific technical parameters related to building materials: cost, thermal bridging, and load-bearing capacity, the outer material selection according to localisation, environmental performance, durability, weight. SWARA (Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) approach is applied to decision making to calculate the relative importance of the criteria. A single-valued neutrosophic set governs the proposed new extension of MULTIMOORA (Multiobjective Optimisation by Ratio Analysis Plus Full Multiplicative Form) method and allows to deal explicitly with the indeterminacy of the initial information. Our proposed new theoretical composite model for selection of elements, materials and other aspects of sustainability can be practically applied in creating the decision support system for the selection of single-family house elements and materials.

“…Following the description of the factors influencing the energy-related evaluation of the building they are listed as follows: C 1 -an energy criterion, (PE), C 2 -environmental criterion, (CO 2 ), C 3 -economy criterion, (C G ) and C 4 -investment costs return criterion, (∆C in, inv ) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The goal of the method is to choose the compromise solution from all available solutions (equation 1)…”

“…However, every time the air quality in the building must be taken under consideration -this is possible, in case of the low energy buildings, only through the airflow control and heat recovery. The use of multi-criteria optimization to choose solutions for energy-efficient buildings rate analyses the different permissible solutions can be found [14][15][16][17][38][39][40][41][42][43]. The multi-criteria analysis, proposed in this paper, allows for a classification of the alternative, technical solutions regarding HVAC systems and building itself designing taking under consideration: the economics, energy, environmental parameters in terms of complex energy-related optimum, keeping in the same time all limiting conditions.…”

Abstract. The goal of this paper was to optimize the building envelope and technical equipment in the building through the mitigation of the global cost value, and then to evaluate the influence of the chosen assumptions on the primary energy index. The analyses carried out using global cost method allow for finding the cost optimal solution but only for the some range of primary energy index variability. In order to find the optimal solutions it was proposed to use the multi-criteria optimisation, assuming the following as basic criteria: a global cost value and investment prices increase (economic criteria), a primary energy index (energy-related criterion), an emission of carbon dioxide (environmental criterion). The analysed case study refers to the technical solutions for the residential buildings with the usable energy demand at the level of 40 and 15 kWh/m 2 /a. The presented method might be applied to different types of buildings: those being designed and those being the subject of the thermo-modernisation. The results demonstrate that the proposed model allows for classification of the alternative technical solutions regarding the designing process and the building's technical equipment. The carried out analyses indicate the economic possibility to achieve the low energy building standard and show the need to concentrate the activities related to the installation technology and used energy source.Key words: global cost methodology, low energy buildings, European Union Directive, multi-criteria optimization. focused on the applied mechanical systems in the scope of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and the sources of the energy supplying the building. The goal of these activities is to re-shape the building and its technical equipment in such a way to limit the energy usage. As a result it should lead to the limitation of CO 2 emission. The basic aim of this paper is to present the method of the economic, energy-related and ecological evaluation of the building and its mechanical equipment. The main goal of this paper was to optimize the building's envelope and its technical equipment. The problem of the multi-criteria optimization was solved, including the minimalisation of the global cost, primary energy index, emission of carbon dioxide and the increase of the investment costs in relation to the basic scenario. The options of the possible technological activities aiming for achieving the standards of the low-energy building were compared and then the best solution for the Polish economic conditions was indicated. The analyses referred to the building components, creating the building's envelope as well as to the components of the mechanical systems (HVAC) and the energy sources supplying the building's technical systems. The primary aim was to provide a comparison of the proposed solutions with the basic scenario (BASE).The proposed method was used to indicate the integrated activities (construction technology, mechanical system, energy sources) aiming for the improvement of the technology...

“…In other words, the sustainability is a setting of high living standards for present and future people generations. The construction industry is one of the areas, covering all three anchors of sustainability: social (Kamali, Hewage 2017), economic (Lizana et al 2016) and environment protection (Holmstedt et al 2017).…”

With this article we strive to create a theoretical valuation model based on multiple criteria mathematical methods by selecting a basic shape of single-family residential house‘s plan. Most of the researches and analysis discuss the interfaces of architectural shapes of the buildings with sustainability only in the buildings with unique design. Meanwhile, the model comprising a selection of a basic shape of the singlefamily house was not implemented. Our study evaluated the individual parameters associated with selection of the house shape: compactness, safety, material input, variability of premises and spaces. The SWARA (Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) method is applied in the calculation of the relative importance of the criteria and the EDAS (The Method of Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution) method was used to prioritize the alternatives.
