A CHALLENGING PROPOSAL OF DE FACTO STANDARD PROGRAM FOR DESIGN CLASS AND WORKSHOP ORIENTED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUS ARCHITECTURE BASED ON MCDM : Part1. An application in case of selecting process for dwellings(Environmental Engineering)

Abstract

This study targets on a challenge to build some sort of de facto standard program for design training class in a university where the environmental conscious concept aiming sustainable design is strongly emphasized. MCDM, developed in the circle of TEA SHCP Task 23, is embedded in the program to support students' decision-making process. This paper reports on our first step. A field survey, where students studying architecture and professors in a certain university are involved as samples, was conducted shedding some light on how to apply MCDM in case of selecting process for dwellings. The result implies, for example, that there is a difference on how important among decision-making criteria depending upon how to be inquired.
