Model for an integrated analysis of a building’s life cycle

Abstract

In order to design and realize a high-quality project, it is necessary to take care of its efficiency from the brief stage to the end of its service life. The entire process should be planned and executed with consideration of the goals aspired to by the participating interested parties and the micro and macro envi ronmental levels. In order to realize the above purposes an original Model of an Integrated Analysis of a Building’s Life Cycle was developed by the authors to enable users and the parties involved in the project to analyze a building’s life cycle, as well as to be able to see its micro and macro environments as one in tegrated entity. To achieve the above-mentioned aims new multiple criteria analysis methods and a Multiple Criteria Decision Support System for Build ing’s Life Cycle were developed.
