Abstract

In this paper we propose a selection method for green building materials for insulations, based on an integrated AHP - SAW method. Building materials and thermal insulation materials must have a minimal impact on the environment so as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also ensure high energy efficiency to meet the nZEB standard. Starting from the characteristic of the environmentally friendly thermal insulation materials and also from the impact of built environment, we have formulated certain criteria for the selection, like: thermal conductivity, vapor diffusion resistance coefficient, Global Warming Potential (GWP), percentage of reused materials and fire resistance. AHP method is used for weighting criteria according to their importance for the envisaged selection. A total score, obtained by applying SAW method is associated to each product. We have selected and ranked some materials that can be found on the European market of insulation materials according to some scenarios, namely: according to the requirements of the beneficiary, respective the environmental requirements.
