Abstract

Modern transport policies are looking to promote the shift from air and road travel to rail travel, which involves increasing the comfort and attractiveness of rail journeys. Railway stations, where users spend a significant amount of their journey time, play an important role in this process. Therefore, it is necessary to transform these buildings into sustainable infrastructures with high-quality indoor environments. However, decisions on these transformations can carry a significant degree of uncertainty. Thus, the development of comprehensive support tools is important to improve decision-making. The following work presents a methodology designed to assist the evaluation of urban railway stations' baseline energy, water, waste, eco-design, greening, air quality and comfort performance, while using multi-criteria analysis and cost-benefit analysis to model improvement solutions.
