“…Most systems for evaluating the sustainability of facilities take into account only the environmental aspect and the environmental impact. However, it is necessary to take into account all three basic principles of sustainability, and thus Raslanas et al [48], in their work, developed a system for evaluating the sustainability of recreational facilities, using the AHP method. Because so-called "green buildings" are environmentally friendly, attention is increasingly being given to the selection of methods for their construction.…”

Sustainability is one of the main challenges of the recent decades. In this regard, several prior studies have used different techniques and approaches for solving this problem in the field of sustainability engineering. Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is an important technique that presents a systematic approach for helping decisionmakers in this field. The main goal of this paper is to review the literature concerning the application of MCDM methods in the field of sustainable engineering. The Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection Database was chosen to identify 108 papers in the period of 2008–2018. The selected papers were classified into five categories, including construction and infrastructure, supply chains, transport and logistics, energy, and other. In addition, the articles were classified based on author, year, application area, study objective and problem, applied methods, number of published papers, and name of the journal. The results of this paper show that sustainable engineering is an area that is quite suitable for the use of MCDM. It can be concluded that most of the methods used in sustainable engineering are based on traditional approaches with a noticeable trend towards applying the theory of uncertainty, such as fuzzy, grey, rough, and neutrosophic theory.

Abstract:In the paper, we analyzed the impact of aircraft noise on housing prices. We used a dataset containing geo-coded transactions for 1328 apartments and 438 single-family houses in the years 2010 to 2015 in Poznan. In this research, the hedonic method was used in OLS (ordinary least squares), WLS (weighted least squares), SAR (spatial autoregressive model) and SEM (spatial error model) models. We found strong evidence that aircraft noise is negatively linked with housing prices, which is in line with previous studies in other parts of the world. In our research, we managed to distinguish the influence of aircraft noise on different types of housing. The noise depreciation index value we found in our study was 0.87% in the case of single-family houses, and 0.57% regarding apartments. One of the reasons for the difference in the level of impact of aircraft noise may be the fact that the buyers of apartments may be less sensitive to aircraft noise than the buyers of single-family houses.

“…Green buildings include only environmental aspects. The sustainable building concept however is much broader and include several classes of criteria related to environmental, societal and economic aspects (Haapio & Viitaniemi, 2008;Castro, Mateus, & Bragança, 2015;Raslanas, Kliukas, & Stasiukynas, 2016). Although within the context of Hong Kong, there are different challenges to develop a green building project including high rise dense urban morphology, intensive use of air-conditioning, artificial lighting and lack of concerns for water and electricity saving (Gou & Lau, 2014).…”

“…in different types of buildings. For example, in general buildings (Haapio & Viitaniemi, 2008), office buildings (Lee & Burnett, 2008), public residential design schemes (Gou & Lau, 2014), healthcare buildings (Castro et al, 2015), and recreational buildings (Raslanas et al, 2016). Gou and Lau (2014) demonstrated that thermal performance of a building's envelop is largely ignored in the Hong Kong building codes and green building rating system.…”

“…Gou and Lau (2014) demonstrated that thermal performance of a building's envelop is largely ignored in the Hong Kong building codes and green building rating system. Due to different environmental requirements and evaluation criteria not all sustainability assessment methods could be applied to a variety of buildings and most of the methods are not covering social and economic aspects (Raslanas et al, 2016). Recently few researchers have highlighted the importance and the potential for revenue premiums in various green certification systems in the US, the UK and Australia (e.g., Robinson, Simons, Lee, & Kern, 2016;Robinson & Sanderford, 2016;Robinson & McAllister, 2015).…”

Environmental Certification Schemes and Property Values: Evidence From the Hong Kong Prime Commercial Office Market

A barrier to green-building development is the uncertainty and scepticism about the financial implications. This study aimed to investigate whether the green-certification schemes help buyers to recognize the benefits of green office buildings by their willingness to pay a premium for such buildings. The study used a hedonic-model based on a sample of 67 prime office buildings (including non-green comparables) certified by HKBEAM, BEAM-Plus and LEED in Hong Kong. The empirical findings suggest that green certification schemes add extra value to an office property. The rental value of office properties certified by HKBEAM, BEAM Plus and LEED is about 10.9% higher than for non-certified office buildings. More specifically, tenants/users are willing to pay a premium of 10.9% for green-certified office properties. The findings have practical implications in encouraging green building development in Hong Kong and elsewhere. The findings indicate that the higher rental income from green office buildings can cover the additional cost of obtaining green certification within a period of 22-months (22.32 months) in Hong Kong. The results provide references for various stakeholders (developers/investors/users) in establishing the business case for green-office buildings, because of the ability of the market to capitalize the environmental benefits of green office properties.
