A Comprehensive Evaluation Model of Buildings Based on Improved TOPSIS

Abstract

In order to evaluate the operation of energy consumption, environmental protection, and economy, a multi-index comprehensive evaluation model based on an improved technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is proposed. Based on the analysis of building operation, a multi-index evaluation system is constructed. Then, an improved TOPSIS evaluation method is introduced and a distance measure of the TOPSIS evaluation model by the gray correlation algorithm and analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-entropy weight method is determined. Next, a multi-attribute weighted evaluation model is established to analyze the building operation comprehensively. The multi-index evaluation of eight power office buildings indicates that the building comprehensive evaluation results vary with time and the energy consumption index score plays the main role in all indexes. A comparison of the evaluation results with those obtained by other evaluation methods verifies the effectiveness of the proposed building multi-index evaluation model.
