Abstract

The use of sustainable energy will soon be the major guiding principle for building and spatial planning practice. This asks for new sustainable energy infrastructures which need new design approaches. Design tools for the energy infrastructure of the built environment in the conceptual phase of design combined with MCDM methods are presently lacking. Integral Design methodology is meant to help by providing methods to communicate the consequences of design steps on the building level for the energy infrastructure. In particular the use of Morphological Overviews, combined with the Kesselring method as a decision support tool, will support the early conceptual steps within the design process and make decisions taken during the design process more transparent. The main objective of this article is not so much identifying and exhaustively summarizing all MCDM methods useful for energy planning, than as a way of examining what to look for in judging the merit of a decision making approach in connection with the design processes within the energy infrastructure of the built environment.
