摘要: The energy revolution's goal is to transform the current system into a sustainable based on renewable technologies (RET). Even though RET are generally acknowledged as low-emission with positive connotations, there also negative impacts ecological, economic and social environments throughout their life cycle. In order support decision makers in building system, comprehensive easily understandable sustainability assessment-tools required. Current approaches methods like Life Cycle Assessment or Multi-Criteria-Decision-Analysis have weaknesses terms of comprehensiveness, processing uncertainty subjectivity, visualization results. this paper, holistic Fuzzy Logic Approach for Sustainability Based Integrative Triangle (Fuzzy-IST) proposed resolve these weaknesses. Quantitative qualitative Basic Indicators all dimensions cycle stages hierarchically processed multi-stage fuzzy system. This results seven crisp Dimension Indices General Index. values then visualized color-coded provide an easy intuitive interpretation allows identification deficits deduction fields action improve overall RET.
