TLDR
In this article, the authors provide a review on the application and use of decision making approaches in regard to energy management problems, from 1995 to 2015 in 72 important journals, which chosen from the Web of Science database and in this regard, the systematic and meta-analysis method called PRISMA has been proposed.Abstract:
Energy management problems associated with rapid institutional, political, technical, ecological, social and economic development have been of critical concern to both national and local governments worldwide for many decades; thus, addressing such issues is a global priority. The main of objective of this study is to provide a review on the application and use of decision making approaches in regard to energy management problems. This paper selected and reviewed 196 published papers, from 1995 to 2015 in 72 important journals related to energy management, which chosen from the “Web of Science” database and in this regard, the systematic and meta-analysis method which called “PRISMA” has been proposed. All published papers were categorized into 13 different fields: environmental impact assessment, waste management, sustainability assessment, renewable energy, energy sustainability, land management, green management topics, water resources management, climate change, strategic environmental assessment, construction and environmental management and other energy management areas. Furthermore, papers were categorized based on the authors, publication year, nationality of authors, region, technique and application, number of criteria, research purpose, gap and contribution, solution and modeling, results and findings. Hybrid MCDM and fuzzy MCDM in the integrated methods were ranked as the first methods in use. The Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Review was the important journal in this paper, with 32 published papers. Finally, environmental impact assessment was ranked as the first area that applied decision making approaches. Results of this study acknowledge that decision making approaches can help decision makers and stakeholders in solving some problems under uncertainties situations in environmental decision making and these approaches have seen increasing interest among previous researchers to use these approaches in various steps of environmental decision making process.read more

Multi-objective decision-making methods for optimising CO2 decisions in the automotive industry
TL;DR: It is found that interactive and objective decision making approaches such as MOOP opposed to classical Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods can more precisely quantify the commercial implications of the stricter global CO2 emission legislation now imposed on automotive OEMs.
