Evaluation Model To Exterior Wall Assemblies Xianglei Hu1, a, Shengcai Li 2,b, Hongliang Yan1, c, Gang Meng1, d 1College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University, China. 2College of Civil Science and Engineering, Yangzhou University, China ahuxianglei@163.com, bshggyx@163.com, cayzz2003@263.net, dmg000@163.com Keywords: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Exterior Wall Assemblies, Insulation Technology, Value Engineering Analytical Method.
The approach discussed in this paper originated as a response to recent building code changes in China, and the need for value-engineers to better understand a set of newly developed wall construction assemblies in a way that minimizes subjective errors in the value-engineering evaluation process.
Methodology Value engineering (VE), originating in the United States, is a method of cost control that emphasizes achieving the necessary function at the minimum cost.
Using the AHP method, value-engineering can be simplified and yet remain comprehensive enough so that performance is not compromised[1]. 2.1.
We applied value engineering theory with AHP to evaluate three exterior wall assemblies that are likely to meet consumers’ multi-value needs.

In [3], hybrid dynamic modeling (HDM) initially proposed in [4] for control engineering is adopted.
However, we mentioned earlier that the “optimal” plans are not intuitive to the engineers and thus not well accepted.

Classic Analysis Methods The first analysis of the vault was performed with a classic tool, frequently used in engineering practice: the Mery’s method [4].
ChronoEngine [8,9] was the software adopted for DEM analyses: it is an open source C++ library developed for mechanical engineering but also successfully used to study masonry structures in civil engineering applications [10,11,12].
In particular, for vaulted structures, the approaches to the static assessment are not consolidated in common engineering practice.
