“…Alternatives are evaluated, compared and ranked based on the measure of closeness to the ideal solution according to an established criteria and relying on rules of acceptable advantage and stability of the optimal solution, which enables to select one or multiple compromise solutions (Jahan et al, 2011;Kiani et al, 2018;Ongpeng et al, 2022;Zheng et al, 2019). During this process, decision makers are allowed to participate in the definition of preference data and weights (Chundi et al, 2022;Mela et al, 2012). This method has been commonly used for applications in construction (Sánchez-Garrido et al, 2021a;Wang et al, 2018), including material selection (Kiani et al, 2018), building design and construction methods (Mela et al, 2012;Sánchez-Garrido et al, 2021a, 2021b, recycling of construction products , maintenance processes (Chundi et al, 2022;Zheng et al, 2019) and energy efficiency in buildings (Ongpeng et al, 2022).…”
