Cole在1998年提出,評估工具是應該具備完整明確之架構模型,以提供做為發展適用於不同用途建築物、地區區位特性等重要基準點,同時做為新的評估方法和建立基準值的基礎依據,亦可隨著時空條件之變遷調整修正,以適切落實「因地制宜」。故本研究透過國外具指標性意義的永續建築評估工具GBTool2005,運用層級程序分析法(AHP),進行台灣地區各相關永續建築之產、官、學等領域專家之問卷調查,以探討「產官學領域別」及「區位環境別」對評估指標群看法之差異性,期能提出台灣地區之永續建築環境性能評價研究之參考。其中,本研究已有效地驗證「專家評價方式」應用在國際永續建築評估架構轉化於台灣地區適用性之探討;在調查結果方面:全體台灣專家對GBTool2005 第一層指標群分析,顯示優先決策的前三者權重值依次為:「C.環境負荷」0.211、「B.能源資源」0.186、「D.室內環境」0.162。
Cole (1998) said the assessment methods need an accepted credible assessment framework, and can serve as a test-bed for comparing and contrasting the effectiveness of new methods and for setting performance benchmarks, in order to carry out customization to local conditions. Therefore, this study utilized the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method to investigate the international demonstration sustainable building assessment tool, by compiling and completing an experts' questionnaire of professionals, the Government, and professors, et cetera, in Taiwan, and explore the differences between 'different professionals' and 'regional characteristics'. Through a test of case-study projects, this research hopes that results will be advantageously employed in sustainable building assessment studies in the future for Taiwan. The results can be summarized the following points: this study verified validly to apply the experts' evaluation method on a regional customizing procedure by a international sustainable building assessment framework in Taiwan; the AHP result of all experts' opinions outlines the priority issues and the weighting value in Taiwan, these are: 'C. Environmental Loadings' is 21.1%, 'B. Energy and Resource Consumption' is 18.6%, and 'D. Indoor Environmental Quality' is 16.2%.
