Research on Life Cycle Cost Modular Evaluation System of Green Building Materials: Based on Entropy Decision Making Method

Chinese urbanization is developing rapidly; green building materials need an evaluation system to overcome the cost disadvantage that compared with the normal building materials. The life cycle cost (LCC) of the green building materials is the remarkable difference and also advantages in contrast to the normal building materials. An LCC evaluation system for green building materials has been set up by 4 modules; it is the first step to develop the evaluation software. To find an optimal design scheme, the entropy decision making method was used to support the decision maker to compare the different design schemes, and to calculate the best material selected scheme.
