Abstract

Abstract:

This paper presents the topsis method for capturing various planning activities barriers to migrate into a greener and more eco-efficient building systems. In order to mitigate these barriers, the ranking of barriers is very essential to address the issue more effectively within the availability of resources and capacity to improve environment. Twelve barriers have been identified and grouped as environmental, economicand societal barriers.

Key words: TOPSIS, passive house, comprehensive evaluation
