Decision Analysis with Value Focused Thinking as a Methodology to Select Buildings for Deconstruction
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the reuse and recycling of building materials on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. There are a variety of conflicting factors concerning the removal of a building and the model quantitatively evaluates alternatives with respect to the decision maker's values. The research questions were addressed with both a comprehensive literature review, as well as the implementation of the value focused thinking methodology. The model found that the temporary living facilities are the alternatives that achieve the highest value. The result of this research effort was a value model that aids decision makers in identifying buildings for deconstruction.
