• Optimization of Building Envelope Parameters of an nZEB Duplex Residence by Taguchi and Grey Relationship Analyses (2026) · Buildings · doi

  None of these studies jointly optimize mechanical, economic, and environmental performance criteria for office building structural alternatives using a single integrated multicriteria framework; existing work addresses these dimensions separately (energy optimization in residential contexts, envelope parameters for nZEBs, or structural systems for high-rise buildings) but does not apply comparative multicriteria methods to office building structural system selection.

• MIVES MULTI-CRITERIA FRAMEWORK TO SUSTAINABILITY INDEX OF DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE AND ASSEMBLY (2024) · Journal of Civil Engineering and Management · cited 5× · doi

  Across this set, multicriteria decision-making methods (AHP, TOPSIS, COPRAS, MIVES) are evaluated primarily on residential buildings, single-family houses, or high-rise buildings; none of the provided studies applies these MCDM frameworks to office building structural alternatives, where mechanical system integration, occupancy patterns, and economic constraints differ substantially.

• AN ADVANCED MULTI-CRITERIA EVALUATION MODEL OF THE RATIONAL BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE (2016) · Journal of Civil Engineering and Management · cited 19× · doi

  No study in this set evaluates the trade-off between initial capital cost and lifecycle environmental impact (CO2 emissions, embodied carbon) for office building structural systems; prior work confirms that high energy efficiency does not correlate proportionally with overall investment, but this finding has not been tested across competing structural alternatives in office contexts.

• Evaluating the Impact of Passive Design Strategies on Mid-Rise Condominium Performance in Eti-Osa, Lagos, Nigeria (2026) · International Journal of Advanced Academic Research · doi

  None of these studies incorporates occupant-centered mechanical performance criteria (thermal comfort, indoor air quality, daylighting) into a multicriteria comparison of structural alternatives; passive design studies measure occupant perception but do not link it to structural system choice, while structural optimization studies omit occupant outcomes.

• Optimization of Building Envelope Parameters of an nZEB Duplex Residence by Taguchi and Grey Relationship Analyses (2026) · Buildings · doi

  Across this set, multicriteria frameworks are applied to single buildings or building types (one duplex, one high-rise, one façade retrofit); none provides a generalizable multicriteria model or decision support tool validated across multiple office building geometries, orientations, and climatic contexts to support structural alternative selection.
