The environmental impact of the construction industry is very heavy. Therefore, the global community is further developing green building assessment tools in order to enhance their efficiency in matching sustainability goals and being more environmentally friendly. An analysis approach by means of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) was carried out to examine the degree of response of different green building tools utilized in Europe, namely (Innovazione e Trasparenza degli Appalti e la Compatibilità Ambientale ITACA, Deutsches Guetsiegel Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB), Haute Qualité Environnementale (HQE) and Sustainable Building Tool (SBTool), to the eight criteria of the European Green Deal (EGD), a roadmap elaborated by the European Commission to enhance sustainability deployment in the region. The first phase of the analysis consisted of a Boolean MCDM aiming to define to which criterion of the EGD each indicator in the tools checklists is linked. These data obtained were later examined by means of Fuzzy Logic to obtain comparable results showing how much each tool helps more following the European roadmap towards sustainability. This work intends to compare the efficiency of the most used tools in Europe for building sustainability evaluation while being based on a particular specified reference and not only the sustainable goals in general. This work also shows the efficiency of combining two MCDCM techniques to obtain better analyzing output. The result of this study shows that the DGNB is the most effective method for connecting all EGD criteria in a balanced manner. The HQE tool demonstrated a strong ability to effectively integrate the objectives of the EGD, except for the energy evaluation aspect. For the ITACA tool, it closely aligned DGNB in its response to the EGD, although it had an absent focus on the smart and sustainable shift of mobility. SBTool demonstrated average performance when compared to other protocols. This was expected since SBTool was the basis on which ITACA, DGNB, and HQE were constructed.
建筑业对环境的影响非常大。因此，国际社会正在进一步开发绿色建筑评估工具，以提高其在实现可持续发展目标和更加环保方面的效率。采用多标准决策（MCDM）分析方法，研究了欧洲使用的不同绿色建筑工具，即（公共采购的创新与透明度及环境兼容性ITACA、德国可持续建筑认证DGNB、高环境质量HQE和可持续建筑工具SBTool）对欧洲绿色协议（EGD）八项标准的响应程度，欧洲绿色协议是欧盟委员会制定的一项路线图，旨在加强该地区的可持续发展部署。分析的第一阶段包括一个布尔MCDM，旨在确定工具清单中的每个指标与EGD的哪个标准相关联。随后，通过模糊逻辑对获得的这些数据进行检查，以获得可比结果，显示每种工具在遵循欧洲可持续发展路线图方面提供了多大帮助。这项工作旨在比较欧洲最常用的建筑可持续性评估工具的效率，同时基于一个特定的指定参考，而不仅仅是一般的可持续发展目标。这项工作还展示了结合两种MCDCM技术以获得更好分析输出的效率。这项研究的结果表明，DGNB是平衡连接所有EGD标准的最有效方法。HQE工具除了能源评估方面外，展示了有效整合EGD目标的强大能力。对于ITACA工具，它在对EGD的响应方面与DGNB密切一致，尽管它没有关注移动性的智能和可持续转变。与其他协议相比，SBTool表现平平。这是意料之中的，因为SBTool是ITACA、DGNB和HQE构建的基础。
