| Popis: | Taiwan has a unique subtropical island climate. In the development of a green building material (GBM) evaluation system for Taiwan, evaluation criteria should differ from those in the frigid or temperate zones of the world. We aimed to provide academia and industry with an appropriate GBM evaluation method and to enhance the effectiveness of GBM. It means GBM should be concerned with creating more value with less impact to achieve “eco-efficiency”. Eco-efficiency is the balance of competitively priced goods and services that satisfy human needs and quality of life, while progressively reducing ecological impacts and resource intensity throughout the life-cycle within the Earth's estimated carrying capacity. We applied this method (eco-efficiency=quality/load) to comprehensively consider the efficiency of GBM. The first step was to review the literature to summarize GBM evaluation factors. Second, we conducted a two-stage survey by the fuzzy Delphi method to analyze the evaluation indicators' eco-... |
