Decision Support in the Process of Choosing a Residential Building Technology

Abstract

The choice of construction technology depends on many factors, which are now increasingly determined by the developing concept of sustainability. Decisions made at the stage of building planning and design should take into account not only the technical but also environmental, social and economic efficiency of the building throughout its life cycle. The aim of the article is the development of the methodology of supporting the technology selection process on the basis of research results, experience and opinions of building users. The DSS (decision support system) developed based on this concept may facilitate potential investors selection of technologies and support designers and constructors to improve their solutions.
