In particular, the book integrates special features into the conventional QFD tool to enhance its performance. These features include a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method, fuzzy consensus scheme, and Knowledge Management System (KMS). This integration results in a more robust decision support tool, known as the Knowledge-based Decision Support System QFD (KBDSS-QFD) tool. As an example, the KBDSS-QFD tool is used for the assessment of building envelope materials and designs for high-rise residential buildings in Singapore in the early design stage. The book provides the reader with a conceptual framework for understanding the development of the KBDSS-QFD tool. The framework is presented in a generalized form in order to benefit building professionals, decision makers, analysts, academics and researchers, who can use the findings as guiding principles to achieve optimal solutions and boost efficiency. 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction. 676 $a620 700 $aNatee$b Singhaputtangkul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0763015 702 $aLow$b Sui Pheng$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aTeo$b Evelyn A.
