Comprehensive Evaluation of Green Construction in Building Projects Using an Integrated MCDM and Plithogenic Set Approach

Abstract

Green construction aims to minimize the overall negative impact of the built 
environment on both human health and the environment by efficiently using energy, 
water, and other resources. It helps reduce waste, pollution, and environmental impact 
while enhancing worker productivity and protecting occupant health. This study 
introduces a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to evaluate green 
construction in building projects. The MCDM approach is integrated into the plithogenic 
set framework to address uncertainty and vague information. The simple additive 
weighting (SAW) method is employed to rank the alternatives. Three experts evaluated 
nine criteria and eight alternatives to determine the criteria weights and rank the 
alternatives. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the stability of the rankings, 
with results showing that the ranks of the alternatives remain stable under varying 
criteria weights.
