Abstract

Green building practices are gaining in popularity as a means to mitigate environmental and human health impacts of construction and development. Green buildings incorporate environmentally responsible and resource-efficient technologies to reduce environmental impacts over their life cycle. Recently various environmental assessment methods have been developed to assess the environmental performance of green building technologies. Methods developed to date are, however, insufficient for accurate quantitative estimation and evaluation of triple-bottom-line (TBL) sustainability performance objectives (i.e. economic, environmental and social) in the context of green building technologies. Moreover, selection processes for these technologies often involve significant uncertainty and subjectivity. As a result, currently available approaches to estimation of sustainability performance over a technology's life cycle may be unreliable and misleading. This paper aims to remedy some of the shortcomings in current a...

基于模糊层次分析法(FAHP)的绿色屋顶系统可持续性绩效评价

作为减轻建筑和开发对环境和人类健康影响的一种手段，绿色建筑实践越来越受欢迎。绿色建筑采用对环境负责和资源高效的技术，以减少其生命周期对环境的影响。近年来，各种环境评估方法被开发出来，以评估绿色建筑技术的环境绩效。然而，迄今为止开发的方法不足以对绿色建筑技术背景下的三重底线(TBL)可持续性绩效目标(即经济、环境和社会)进行准确的定量估计和评价。此外，这些技术的选择过程往往涉及重大的不确定性和主观性。因此，目前可用的估计技术生命周期内可持续性表现的方法可能是不可靠和具有误导性的。这篇文章旨在弥补当前一个…
