A Step toward Development of Unbiased Scientific Tool to Prioritize Various Energy Actions Ways for Greening of Buildings

Abstract

Energy generated from renewable resources is of supreme importance for the significant and sustained growth of India today. The majority of the power in India is generated from the conventional energy sources, such as, coal, petroleum, and natural gas in thermal power plants, which influence the corruption of our environment a lot. Due to diminishing fossil fuels funds, the future demand of energy will be fulfilled by the renewable energy in India. In this paper, a scientific tool named ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalite (ELECTRE) will be applied for a case study of Nabajiban Missionaries of Charity Brothers-Howrah, to rank the different energy savings substitutes implemented there for ‘greening building’ in a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) environment and the rankings of the substitutes generated by ELECTRE will be compared with the rankings already obtained for that particular case study using another scientific tool named Analytical Hierarchy Process. Consequently, we will finally come into a conclusion, how the unbiasedness of the tools in solving MCDM problems for ‘greening building’ projects helps the decision makers of respective institutions, to invest their funding, in the right projects, viewing the rankings generated by the tools.
