Abstract
Assessment indicators of Green building have been developing decades in the world, but it is only use for new construction in Taiwan, we know that life cycle assessment of buildings in the using stage is up to several decades, and shall be maintained through the rehabilitation to make building used long time. Due to the quantity of existing building, which is most located in to Taipei and Kaohsiung city, is more and more adding every year, and must be maintained in this stage in order to extend the life cycle of building. If there is no assessment method to check these buildings, it isn’t a positive factor to sustainability. At the moment, due to without policy to guide how to assessment the existing building renovation and maintenance, it is hard to make it transfer into green building. So it is very important to study green building subsidy for building rehabilitation and maintenance.
After reviewing relative research of green building, I summarized assessment indicators, this study employed Fuzzy Theory combined with Fuzzy Delphi Method and Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process to practice the procedure of the two-stage questionnaire survey into experts’ opinion, and using three cases to operate which one is the best. The purpose of this study is by the direction of green building assessment indicators to realize the problems of government’s current subsidies policy, and proposed improvements and recommendations. As a results of this study, the assessment indicators is divided into "environmental security", "regional priority", "cultural history and socio-economic”, “materials and resources", "environmental quality", "resource consumption and use”, “innovation design” of the eight categories of principles and the 30 assessment indicators. The highest one of assessment indicator is "environmental security", and the second one is "natural resources and energy use", the lowest one is “innovation design”. It shows that the key point of existing building maintenance is still environmental security, and the building which located in higher intensity of use and priority areas is easier to obtain the subsidy by government.
The results of study can be used by government to evaluate green building renovation to future policy that can be also combined with the relevant policies to promote, continuing to resupply the credits of assessment indicators in the future, and it will make green building subsidy policies used in the assessment of sustainable development. If study in the future, should realize the issues not only the environment but also futurity, equality and public participation, and should consider the area, economies of scale, amount of subsidy, income of applicant and citizen, educating citizen what an important to maintain building is. And then, it should establish the experts list of candidates in advance to resolve the inherent weaknesses of assessment indicators, and as simple as possible to avoid uncertainty of assessment indicators, which should be offered for experts to realize by interview before questionnaire survey, avoiding the difference between experts and assessment indicators.
