Inverse multiple criteria sorting problem with fuzzy parameters: an application of building energy labelling improvement

Abstract

Classification is defined as the problem of assignment of objects to the predefined classes. In general view, classification problems divided into two groups: classification and sorting problems. Sorting problems define the case of existence of ordered classes for objects, while classes are not ordered in classification problems. Besides these two groups of classification problems, Inverse Multiple Criteria Sorting Problem (IMSCP) is also introduced into the literature in recent years. IMSCP deals with finding the possible actions that can change the assignment of objects to classes in order to obtain the desired classification of objects. The main aim in this study is to propose an extension of IMSCP with fuzzy parameters with a proper solution approach. A case study of building energy labelling improvement in an existing building site in Ankara is solved by using parametric fuzzy solution approach of Carlsson and Korhonen. Obtained results of the application presents the possible actions to improve the energy labels of the buildings within the site. Also, solution results show that the proposed model in this study can be used to improve current Building Energy Performance model in Turkey to a new one with efficiency improvement suggestions.

Bilim merkezlerine düzenek seçimi için çok amaçlı çok boyutlu bir sırt çantası modeli

“…Çok amaçlı problemlerin bu yaklaşımla çözümünde baskın çözümlerin olabildiğince büyük bir kümesinin (pareto front) elde edilmesi karar vericiye daha geniş bir seçenek listesi sunacaktır. Bu grupta yaygın kullanılan yöntemler arasında epsilon kısıt yöntemi [42], farklı ağırlık kümelerinin kullanıldığı ağırlıklandırma yöntemi [43], hedef programlama [44] ve bulanık programlama [45] yaklaşımları sayılabilir. Önerilen modelde seçilen düzeneklerin enerji temasına uygunluğunun maksimizasyonu, seçilen düzeneklerin toplam ilgi çekicilik düzeyinin maksimizasyonu ve toplam eğiticilik düzeyinin maksimizasyonu hedeflendiğinden söz konusu üç amaç, toplamlı bir amaç fonksiyonu şeklinde ifade edilmiştir.…”

Crafting Sustainable Healthcare Environments Using Green Building Ratings for Aging Societies

“…GBRSs serve as a framework for measuring and recognizing sustainable design, construction, and operations [8][9][10]. They offer certification processes that lead to the creation of environmentally responsible and resource-efficient buildings [11]. For healthcare, GBRSs have a dual significance: they ensure that buildings contribute to environmental sustainability while fostering a therapeutic and healing environment [12,13].…”

Fuzzy Linear Programming Model for Inverse Multiple Criteria Sorting Problem: An Application in a Public Transportation Company

“…And they tested the model on a real-life problem. Ecer et al (2022) aimed an extension of inverse multiple criteria sorting problem with fuzzy parameter with a proper solution approach on area of building energy. This study proposes a combination of inverse multiple criteria sorting problem and fuzzy linear programming.…”
