In light of the pressing global challenges related to greenhouse gas emissions from the construction industry, current evaluation systems for green building construction sustainability remain limited, often overlooking sustainability domains. This study innovatively established an evaluation framework by exploring five critical domains: environmental sustainability, economic benefits, socio-cultural impacts, technological innovation, and health and well-being. Sixteen key evaluation indicators were identified using the Delphi method, with the novel inclusion of a carbon emission reduction target achievement indicator, thereby promoting the goal of carbon neutrality in green buildings. To determine a more reasonable weight distribution, this paper combined the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) with the entropy weight method. Additionally, the study employed a fuzzy matter-element method enhanced by genetic algorithms for precise evaluation of green building construction sustainability. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model were validated through an empirical analysis of a green building project in Beijing. The results of this research provide innovative theoretical references and practical guidelines for green building construction sustainability evaluation.

Abstract

In light of the pressing global challenges related to greenhouse gas emissions from the construction industry, current evaluation systems for green building construction sustainability remain limited, often overlooking sustainability domains. This study innovatively established an evaluation framework by exploring five critical domains: environmental sustainability, economic benefits, socio-cultural impacts, technological innovation, and health and well-being. Sixteen key evaluation indicators were identified using the Delphi method, with the novel inclusion of a carbon emission reduction target achievement indicator, thereby promoting the goal of carbon neutrality in green buildings. To determine a more reasonable weight distribution, this paper combined the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) with the entropy weight method. Additionally, the study employed a fuzzy matter-element method enhanced by genetic algorithms for precise evaluation of green building construction sustainability. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model were validated through an empirical analysis of a green building project in Beijing. The results of this research provide innovative theoretical references and practical guidelines for green building construction sustainability evaluation.
