Abstract The economic effect of buildings’ renovation largely depends on implementation of energy saving methods and devices. A very high economic effect is achieved by wall insulation. In this respect, it is even higher than the replacement of windows. The alternative solutions of wall insulation of buildings differ in the materials used, labour expenditure and other aspects. The cost of renovation depends on the solutions made. The criteria describing the available wall insulation alternatives may have different values. Moreover, they may change in different directions, i.e. a higher value of some criteria denotes a better state, while for others they mean a worse situation. In this environment, a compromise variant is required, which can be found by multicriteria evaluation methods. To reduce the effect of various methods on calculation results, it can be recommended to assess the object (or phenomenon) considered by several different methods, with a subsequent determination of the average estimate val...

Selection of rational dispute resolution method by applying new step‐wise weight assessment ratio analysis (Swara) (2010, methodology): “Ginevicius et al. (2008), Zavadskas and Vilutienė (2006), Zavadskas et al. (2009) applied this method for construction problems solution. b) The methods based on quantitative measurements using a few attributes to compare the alternatives (comparison preference method).”
The Comparative Analysis of MCDA Methods SAW and COPRAS (2011, unknown): “The solution of the problem associated with the comparative analysis of five different building technologies (Ginevicius et al. 2008b), where more than a half (five) of the nine evaluation criteria were minimizing, has also shown that the evaluation results yielded by the above two methods differ…”
Evaluation of renewable energy alternatives using MACBETH and fuzzy AHP multicriteria methods: the case of Turkey (2013, background): “One is the classical mCDm problems (Kaklauskas et al. 2006; Zavadskas et al. 2008a, b; Ginevičius et al. 2008), among which the ratings and the weights of criteria are measured in crisp numbers.”
Evaluating the changes in economic and social development of Lithuanian counties by multiple criteria methods (2009, methodology): “To solve such complicated problems, multicriteria evaluation methods have been recently used (Hwang, Yoon 1981; Figueira et al. 2005; Ginevicius 2007; Ginevicius, Podvezko 2008b, 2008c; Ginevicius et al. 2007, 2008a, 2008b; Brauers, Zavadskas 2008; Brauers et al. 2008a); this could take into consi”
