Green buildings are a crucial environmentally friendly component for sustainable human habitation and for the preservation of a healthy ecosystem. This study proposes a novel hybrid model to explore the influential relationship of various indicators and their importance for a green building evaluation system. First, a green building index system is established based on a review of recent literature on green building evaluation systems. Then, the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) technique is utilized to determine the influential relationship among the criteria. Finally, a novel best worst method (BWM)-based analytic network process (ANP) model is applied to determine the influential weight of the criteria. The result indicated that the top five ranked criteria are all classified within the two dimensions of waste reduction and energy saving. An empirical case study of an example in Taiwan is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. Management implications are also provided.

In recent years, with the development of green building and the increase of health awareness, the concept of healthy building has been proposed. Recently, studies have been made on developing healthy residential buildings; however, few attentions have been paid to the development of healthy dormitories. To bridge this research gap, this paper aims to investigate the crucial aspects of developing a healthy dormitory. Based on the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, three influencing aspects which include 17 measurement indicators are identified. Questionnaire surveys are subsequently conducted to collect students’ perceptions on the identified indicators. After a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, the relationships between the three influencing aspects are analyzed. The research findings show that building performance, bodily sensation, and humanistic environment must be taken into account in the development of a healthy dormitory. In addition, it is revealed that building performance has a significant impact on bodily sensation, while bodily sensation has a significant impact on humanistic environment. However, building performance is found having little impact on humanistic environment. The findings of this study could provide useful information for the construction of healthy dormitories.
