Abstract
ABSTRACT Today, energy management systems are usually assessed as key to sustainable development goals. One of the best criteria for energy management systems in construction projects is Life Cycle Energy Analysis (LCEA). This research is a quantitative-qualitative study based on a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) model. This research involves four stages: library study, statistical survey, descriptive study, and case study. The review of previous studies showed that the LCEA and MCDM alone could not provide a comprehensive energy consumption management assessment model, due to inherent uncertainty and the existence of various analysis parameters; however, when are used in an integrated framework; the LCEA & MCDM hybrid approach serves as the best instruments to assess energy management systems. This research has proposed a newly developed hybrid multi-objective mathematical decision-making model to select appropriate and optimum options for all building shell components to optimize and manage the Cost and Energy of the Building Life Cycle. The life cycle energy analysis of an educational building in a case study showed that optimization using the proposed model saves about 16% of energy during the lifetime of the building. In addition, the investment payback period for this optimization is less than seven months in the first year of operation.
期刊介绍:
Informative and accessible, this publication analyses and discusses the integration of the main stages within the process of design and construction and multidisciplinary collaborative working between the different professionals involved. Ideal for practitioners and academics alike, Architectural Engineering and Design Management examines specific topics on architectural technology, engineering design, building performance and building design management to highlight the interfaces between them and bridge the gap between architectural abstraction and engineering practice. Coverage includes: -Integration of architectural and engineering design -Integration of building design and construction -Building design management; planning and co-ordination, information and knowledge management, vale engineering and value management -Collaborative working and collaborative visualisation in building design -Architectural technology -Sustainable architecture -Building thermal, aural, visual and structural performance -Education and architectural engineering This journal is a valuable resource for professionals and academics (teachers, researchers and students) involved in building design and construction, including the following disciplines: -Architecture -Building Engineering -Building Service Engineering -Building Physics -Design Management and Design Coordination -Facilities Management Published papers will report on both fundamental research dealing with theoretical work and applied research dealing with practical issues and industrial innovations. In this way, readers explore the interaction between technical considerations and management issues.
