Abstract

ABSTRACT Recently nanomaterial has been introduced in construction industry that holds great promise for innovations that can benefit mankind. Yet, one must not overlook the wide array of factors involved in managing nanomaterial development, ranging from the technical specifications of the material to possible adverse effects in humans. Other opportunities to evaluate benefits and risks are inherent in environmental health and safety (EHS) issues related to nanotechnology. The paper presents a multicriteria decision-making technique for the selection of nanomaterial for building construction. The criteria set for assessment is determined based on occupational health and environmental safety, economic and Marketability factors. Criteria weights were assigned and the final selection was determined by applying Analytic Hierarchic Process (AHP) method.
