Evaluation of climate adaptive building shells: multi-criteria analysis

Abstract The paper defines the most suitable climate adaptive building shell technology for Latvian climate conditions by application of multi-criteria analysis. During the analysis seven alternative technologies are considered and seven criteria are defined in order to make a well-grounded decision. The results indicate that the optimal would be a climate adaptive building shell technology that has integrated phase change materials.
