Abstract

Multi-Criteria-Decision-Analysis (MCDA) has been incorporated into retrofit decision-making to help obtain optimal strategies that can address a holistic objective criterion. However, MCDA for retrofit problems is often performed over two stages through pre-processing or post-processing of the simulation inputs/outputs which leads to detecting only a limited portion of the optimal (Pareto-Front) decisions available. This study proposes a parametric approach for MCDA, embedded into building performance simulation, that addresses many of the MCDA limitations highlighted and demonstrates how the parametric and area-weighted approach proposed can explore a bigger parameter space and be responsive to the various building geometries.
