Air Conditioner Selection Problem with COPRAS and ARAS Methods

Installing the most suitable heating and cooling systems to the offices for the firms is one of the important decisions to be made because of the energy efficiency and working conditions. This decision requires the selection of the proper air conditioner considering several conflicting factors. So it can be handled with the Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. In this paper COPRAS (COmplex PRoportional ASsessment) and ARAS (Additive Ratio ASsessment) methods are used to reach a solution for the air conditioner selection problem in the literature. Air conditioner alternatives are ranked by using these two methods and also the results are compared.
