Abstract

The choice of materials is crucial when it comes to the environmental, financial, and social effects of construction and goods in the modern push for sustainability. In order to improve the sustainable material selection process, this research study investigates the integration of fuzzy logic with multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies. Given the inherent subjectivity and ambiguities in assessing sustainability standards, the fuzzy environment offers a strong framework to manage human judgment and imprecise information. The goal of this research is to create a thorough decision support model that takes social, economic, and environmental aspects into account to enable more sustainable and knowledgeable material choices. The usefulness and practical implementation of the suggested model will be demonstrated through case studies in the manufacturing and construction industries.
