Abstract:

The continuous evolution of traditional building materials, the demand of a greater environmental compatibility along with the fast development of innovative high performance products, lead to a huge market offer, suitable for any specific application required to be carried out on a construction project. An important strategy in building design represents the sustainable material selection .The paper presents a study upon the selection process of the most appropriate building materials by using the Multi-Criteria Analysis as a decision-making tool, recommended to be applied very early in the life of a new project. Being based relative importance of the different aspects, as well as to guide the search for further information.
