Abstract: Traditional methods of evaluating energy performance of building tend to focus on comparing the observed energy consumption with the average value of energy consumption by regression method or theoretical value calculated by simulation analysis. For evaluating and ranking the energy performance of buildings, this paper proposed a perspective of multiple objective outputs to evaluate the energy performance of buildings and then use a multiple attribute decision-making approach, Grey relational analysis (GRA), to rank the evaluated buildings. The energy performance of 47 office buildings in Taiwan were evaluated and ranked to serve as a case study to illustrate the procedure and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
