Abstract— The Sustainable Development implies fulfilling the needs of the present without negotiating the ability
of the future needs [1]. As on 31.03.2016, out of total 302 GW of electricity generated, approx 43 GW (only 14%)
was generated by Renewable Energy Sources [2]. In the National Budget (2015), it was declared that approx five-
time increase of Renewable Energy (RE) would be targeted to 175 GW by 2022 from 43 GW at 2016 [3]. Generally,
lots of space exists within a company/ institution for conflicting opinions in implementing the retrofitting
alternatives. Some of the decision makers may prioritize the financial criteria - Energy Savings (kWh/ Year) in top,
some again may arrange the projects based on priority in Annual Investment (Rs.) or Annual Savings (Rs. /Year)
or Payback Period (Years). Hence it is needed to obtain the prioritization table scientifically by the application of
AHP, where an overall ranking of the energy alternatives is obtained by the combined effect of all of the financial/
doable criteria. In our present study, AHP has been chosen as an action based retrofitting parameter in selecting
the priority of doable projects in a descending order of ranking provided by the system, in a MCDM environment.
Moreover, to validate our experimental result of AHP, a 2nd stage survey was conducted to the beneficiary experts
only of the respective company/ institution, who participated in the 1st round survey. This validation signifies
that the Action Based Greening Building Procedure – i.e. the ‘AHP’ applied in the present paper is very much
scientific and universal.
Keywords — Sustainable Development, Renewable Energy, Priority of Doable Projects, Multi-Criteria Decision Making, AHP,
Action Based Greening Building Procedure.
I. INTRODUCTION
A green campus is a place, where environmental friendly practices and education combine to promote sustainable
and eco-friendly practices in the campus. The green campus concept offers an institution, where the opportunity
is taken to lead in redefining its environmental culture and developing new paradigms (a pattern or model) by
creating sustainable solutions to environmental, social and economic needs of the mankind [4].

Greening the campus is all about sweeping away wasteful inefficiencies and using conventional sources of
energies for its daily power needs, correct disposal handling, purchase of environment friendly supplies and
effective recycling program. The institute has to work out the time bound strategies to implement green campus
initiatives. These strategies need to be incorporated into the institutional planning and budgeting processes with
the aim of developing a clean and green campus [4]. There are a variety of solutions and services available in the
market, that impact building design, appliances, operation and maintenance of building components etc. Various
stakeholders like the industry, government and academic institutions are engaged in the development of these
solutions. Improving the energy efficiency of the existing buildings not only generates energy savings with
attractive pay back periods, it also improves a nation’s energy security and makes buildings more liveable. BEE’s
(Bureau of Energy Efficiency) national level programme for energy efficiency in government buildings is required
to convert famous buildings around the capital into energy efficient premises by retrofitting and thereby set a
standard [5].
II. METHODOLOGY
A. Research Approach
The respondents are the experts of the respective fields, interested to cooperate in the survey.
B. Sampling Method
The respondents have gone through an in depth interview (1st Stage and 2nd Stage) procedure for this study,
limited only to the experts of two educational institutions and two charitable organizations.
C. Data Collection Method
• Since our study followed the Qualitative or Exploratory Research, the sample size was typically small
(twelve) and individual depth interviews were conducted (1st and 2nd stage).
• Primary data has been collected through questionnaires to the financial experts of respective institutions.
• Judgments were made among the alternatives on a scale of 1 – 5, by each expert individually.
• The overall priorities of the energy savings alternatives were found out by the application of Analytical
Hierarchical Process (AHP).
D. Data Analysis Method
• All data (primary mainly) have been analysed by the scientific tool AHP and IBM SPSS Statistical Software
(Version 20).
• A second stage interview also was conducted, through another set of questionnaires, among those
thirteen respondents, participated in the first stage interview of the respective institutions, for the
validation of our AHP outcome.

USE OF PROPOSED ACTION BASED RETROFITTING PARAMETERS NEEDED DURING SELECTION OF DOABLE
PROJECTS IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS
Generally, lots of space exists within the decision makers of a company/ institution for conflicting opinions e.g.
one may prioritize the alternatives based on payback period (yrs.), another one may prefer to prioritize the same
alternatives based on annual savings (Rs./year) or annual savings (kWh) or investment (Rs.) or CO2 emission in
the environment and so on. Hence, it is needed to obtain a prioritization table in a more scientific way, where an
overall ranking of the energy alternatives is obtained by the combined effect of all of the financial/ doable criteria.
The retrofitting in greening building is being developed through ‘appropriate algorithm’ or application of ‘AHP’
(Analytic Hierarchy Process) that would be an action based strategic implementation to offer conclusive decisions
in MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making) circumstances. However, in reality, more complex situation makes the
decision making difficult and/ or complicated, which can be easily solved by the AHP.Now, we will apply the AHP
for each of the above two cases and will examine the outputs individually, considering the retrofitting alternatives
of each cases against the three financial criteria.

TABLE VIII
FINAL COMPARISON OR JUDGMENT MATRIX SHOWING FINAL PRIORITY OF INDIVIDUAL RETROFITTING
ALTERNATIVES IN THE STUDY OF RKMVCC
As per the final ranking of the energy saving alternatives shown in Table -VIII above, the last alternative i.e. 30 kW
rooftop SPV has achieved the highest rank followed by the alternatives - the Ordinary Fan (75 W) replaced with
Super Fan (35 W), Ordinary Fan (75 W) replaced with BEE Star Rated Fan (55 W), T12 (40W Tube) replaced with
LEDs (20 W) (Philips), T12 (40W Tube) replaced with T5 (33 W) and the T12 (40W Tube) replaced with CFLs (30
W) respectively, in the study of Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara. Now all the
Ordinary Fan (75 W) in the college if replaced with Super Fan (35 W), instead of BEE Star Rated Fan (55 W), since
the Super Fan occupies the highest rank between these two alternatives. Similarly, all T12 (40W Tube) are
replaced with LEDs (20 W) (Philips) instead of T5 (33 W) and CFLs (30 W), as a correction to avoid duplication
error. Similarly, the final judgment matrix for the other case study discussed above, is presented below and the
subsequent discussions about the output of rankings generated is also revealed accordingly in this paper.

In this case, alternatives ‘Switching off 31 TLs in Computer Lab Room No. 115’ and ‘A/C Load Management’ – have
no initial Investment and additionally Annual Savings incur for the both. Hence, without applying the AHP,
decision makers can finalize the ranking between these two, depending upon the value of Annual Savings only.
Now, for the prioritization among the remaining four alternatives in a MCDM environment, the decision makers
have to apply the AHP. It may be noted that, nowadays, LED has come out to be a more attractive and useful
lighting solution in compared to CFL in most of the applications. Therefore the 4th
or lowest rank secured by the
Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) in this study, i.e. the replacement of Tube Light/60 W Bulb with CFL (new
meter Rs. 6.66/kWh), could be justified as the study was conducted much earlier, when LED was not installed in
IISWBM nor available in the market at affordable prices and convenient places.
D. Application of Statistical Software IBM SPSS for Validation of the AHP Outcomes by Non Parametric Test
The Pearson Chi square test is used to test whether a statistically significant relationship exists between two
categorical variables e.g. Professional Qualification achieved by the respondents and Suggestion for Validation
expressed by them. It comes with a cross tabulation between the two variables.
Null Hypothesis (H0)
H0: ‘Suggestion for Validation of AHP’ is not related to ‘Professional Qualification’ achieved by the respondents.
against Alternative Hypothesis (H1)
H1: ‘Suggestion for Validation of AHP’ is related to ‘Professional Qualification’ achieved by the respondents.

In the cross tabulation matrix output, the Suggestions for Validation are presented in the columns and the
Qualifications are presented in the rows. Within each cell the observed values are listed (labelled as “Count” in the
row heading). The row and column totals are also presented. Out of 12 respondents, 1 is Undergraduate, 4
respondents are Graduate, 4 respondents having qualification Master Degree and the remaining 3 respondents
possess PhD. Here, one respondent out of twelve, refused to participate in the AHP validation survey (represented
by ‘1’ in qualification row = ‘PhD’ and column = ‘Neutral’, in the cross tabulation matrix). Column ‘Yes’ indicates
that total 5 out of 12 respondents (i.e. 42%) suggest for increasing more number of retrofitting alternatives in the
present cases and column ‘No’ implies that total 6 respondents (i.e. 50%) are satisfied with the present number of
alternatives in the study done, they need no requirement for further improvement of the Overall Process of
Ranking Performed by AHP here. But these (5+6 or) 11 respondents out of 12, i.e. 92% are satisfied with the AHP
method and the ranking executed by it. Moreover, the significance value i.e. p-value = 0.373 > 0.05(5% alpha
level), so we are unable to reject the null hypothesis (H0). Thus H0 is accepted and therefore, it can be finally
concluded that, there is no significant relationship between the Suggestion for Validation of AHP and the
Professional Qualification achieved by the Respondents of the respective institutions/ organizations. They have
only suggested their weightages in the second stage questionnaire (validation survey), viewing the beautiful
outcome of AHP in the MCDM, depending on their professional experience.
V. CONCLUSION
Therefore, according to the present study, the views of the respective organization’s experts on three selected
criteria (Investment, Annual Savings and Payback Period) have been reflected when applied on the two individual
case studies, as presented above. Solar energy being an alternative for fossil fuels and such renewable resource
driven systems, where given as an option to the finance experts/decision makers of the organization, have
achieved the highest rank in our present study (Case I - Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College,
Rahara). Accordingly, if IISWBM takes initiative to install Rooftop SPV, then after adding this alternative to the
case study of IISWBM, is expected to come in the top priority in the Final Judgment Matrix of AHP.
The respondents i.e. the decision makers for implementation of the Measures for Greening of Campus (MGC) were
interviewed for the second time along with the result obtained from the procedure developed and applied in the
present study, using the information provided by those respondents during the first meeting. Analytical Hierarchy
Process (AHP) has been fruitfully employed, as a multi criteria decision making process, in the present study, to
prioritize the available retrofitting options or alternatives. The initially created apparently contradictory opinions

Abstract— The Sustainable Development implies fulfilling the needs of the present without negotiating the ability of the future needs [1]. As on 31.03.2016, out of total 302 GW of electricity generated, approx 43 GW (only 14%) was generated by Renewable Energy Sources [2]. In the National Budget (2015), it was declared that approx five- time increase of Renewable Energy (RE) would be targeted to 175 GW by 2022 from 43 GW at 2016 [3]. Generally, lots of space exists within a company/ institution for conflicting opinions in implementing the retrofitting alternatives. Some of the decision makers may prioritize the financial criteria - Energy Savings (kWh/ Year) in top, some again may arrange the projects based on priority in Annual Investment (Rs.) or Annual Savings (Rs. /Year) or Payback Period (Years). Hence it is needed to obtain the prioritization table scientifically by the application of AHP, where an overall ranking of the energy alternatives is obtained by the combined effect of all of the financial/ doable criteria. In our present study, AHP has been chosen as an action based retrofitting parameter in selecting the priority of doable projects in a descending order of ranking provided by the system, in a MCDM environment. Moreover, to validate our experimental result of AHP, a 2nd stage survey was conducted to the beneficiary experts only of the respective company/ institution, who participated in the 1st round survey. This validation signifies that the Action Based Greening Building Procedure – i.e. the ‘AHP’ applied in the present paper is very much scientific and universal. Keywords — Sustainable Development, Renewable Energy, Priority of Doable Projects, Multi-Criteria Decision Making, AHP, Action Based Greening Building Procedure. I. INTRODUCTION A green campus is a place, where environmental friendly practices and education combine to promote sustainable and eco-friendly practices in the campus. The green campus concept offers an institution, where the opportunity is taken to lead in redefining its environmental culture and developing new paradigms (a pattern or model) by creating sustainable solutions to environmental, social and economic needs of the mankind [4]. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ IJIRAE: Impact Factor Value – SJIF: Innospace, Morocco (2016): 3.916 | PIF: 2.469 | Jour Info: 4.085 | ISRAJIF (2016): 3.715 | Indexcopernicus: (ICV 2015): 47.91 IJIRAE © 2014- 17, All Rights Reserved Page -38

The institute has to work out the time bound strategies to implement green campus initiatives. These strategies need to be incorporated into the institutional planning and budgeting processes with the aim of developing a clean and green campus [4]. There are a variety of solutions and services available in the market, that impact building design, appliances, operation and maintenance of building components etc. Various stakeholders like the industry, government and academic institutions are engaged in the development of these solutions. Improving the energy efficiency of the existing buildings not only generates energy savings with attractive pay back periods, it also improves a nation’s energy security and makes buildings more liveable. BEE’s (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) national level programme for energy efficiency in government buildings is required to convert famous buildings around the capital into energy efficient premises by retrofitting and thereby set a standard [5]. II. METHODOLOGY A. Research Approach The respondents are the experts of the respective fields, interested to cooperate in the survey. B. Sampling Method The respondents have gone through an in depth interview (1st Stage and 2nd Stage) procedure for this study, limited only to the experts of two educational institutions and two charitable organizations. C. Data Collection Method • Since our study followed the Qualitative or Exploratory Research, the sample size was typically small (twelve) and individual depth interviews were conducted (1st and 2nd stage). • Primary data has been collected through questionnaires to the financial experts of respective institutions. • Judgments were made among the alternatives on a scale of 1 – 5, by each expert individually. • The overall priorities of the energy savings alternatives were found out by the application of Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). D. Data Analysis Method • All data (primary mainly) have been analysed by the scientific tool AHP and IBM SPSS Statistical Software (Version 20). • A second stage interview also was conducted, through another set of questionnaires, among those thirteen respondents, participated in the first stage interview of the respective institutions, for the validation of our AHP outcome.

Case-II: Indian Institute of Social Welfare & Business Management, Kolkata [7] TABLE II FINANCIAL PARAMETERS FOR DIFFERENT ENERGY SAVING ALTERNATIVES AT IISWBM IV. RESULTS & DISCUSSIONS A. Need for application of the AHP TABLE III USE OF PROPOSED ACTION BASED RETROFITTING PARAMETERS NEEDED DURING SELECTION OF DOABLE PROJECTS IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS Generally, lots of space exists within the decision makers of a company/ institution for conflicting opinions e.g. one may prioritize the alternatives based on payback period (yrs.), another one may prefer to prioritize the same alternatives based on annual savings (Rs./year) or annual savings (kWh) or investment (Rs.) or CO2 emission in the environment and so on. Hence, it is needed to obtain a prioritization table in a more scientific way, where an overall ranking of the energy alternatives is obtained by the combined effect of all of the financial/ doable criteria. The retrofitting in greening building is being developed through ‘appropriate algorithm’ or application of ‘AHP’ (Analytic Hierarchy Process) that would be an action based strategic implementation to offer conclusive decisions in MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making) circumstances. However, in reality, more complex situation makes the decision making difficult and/ or complicated, which can be easily solved by the AHP.Now, we will apply the AHP for each of the above two cases and will examine the outputs individually, considering the retrofitting alternatives of each cases against the three financial criteria.

Now all the Ordinary Fan (75 W) in the college if replaced with Super Fan (35 W), instead of BEE Star Rated Fan (55 W), since the Super Fan occupies the highest rank between these two alternatives. Similarly, all T12 (40W Tube) are replaced with LEDs (20 W) (Philips) instead of T5 (33 W) and CFLs (30 W), as a correction to avoid duplication error.

Hence, without applying the AHP, decision makers can finalize the ranking between these two, depending upon the value of Annual Savings only. Now, for the prioritization among the remaining four alternatives in a MCDM environment, the decision makers have to apply the AHP. It may be noted that, nowadays, LED has come out to be a more attractive and useful lighting solution in compared to CFL in most of the applications. Therefore the 4th or lowest rank secured by the Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) in this study, i.e. the replacement of Tube Light/60 W Bulb with CFL (new meter Rs. 6.66/kWh), could be justified as the study was conducted much earlier, when LED was not installed in IISWBM nor available in the market at affordable prices and convenient places. D. Application of Statistical Software IBM SPSS for Validation of the AHP Outcomes by Non Parametric Test The Pearson Chi square test is used to test whether a statistically significant relationship exists between two categorical variables e.g. Professional Qualification achieved by the respondents and Suggestion for Validation expressed by them. It comes with a cross tabulation between the two variables. Null Hypothesis (H0) H0: ‘Suggestion for Validation of AHP’ is not related to ‘Professional Qualification’ achieved by the respondents. against Alternative Hypothesis (H1) H1: ‘Suggestion for Validation of AHP’ is related to ‘Professional Qualification’ achieved by the respondents. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ IJIRAE: Impact Factor Value – SJIF: Innospace, Morocco (2016): 3.916 | PIF: 2.469 | Jour Info: 4.085 | ISRAJIF (2016): 3.715 | Indexcopernicus: (ICV 2015): 47.91 IJIRAE © 2014- 17, All Rights Reserved Page -44

Within each cell the observed values are listed (labelled as “Count” in the row heading). The row and column totals are also presented. Out of 12 respondents, 1 is Undergraduate, 4 respondents are Graduate, 4 respondents having qualification Master Degree and the remaining 3 respondents possess PhD. Here, one respondent out of twelve, refused to participate in the AHP validation survey (represented by ‘1’ in qualification row = ‘PhD’ and column = ‘Neutral’, in the cross tabulation matrix). Column ‘Yes’ indicates that total 5 out of 12 respondents (i.e. 42%) suggest for increasing more number of retrofitting alternatives in the present cases and column ‘No’ implies that total 6 respondents (i.e. 50%) are satisfied with the present number of alternatives in the study done, they need no requirement for further improvement of the Overall Process of Ranking Performed by AHP here. But these (5+6 or) 11 respondents out of 12, i.e. 92% are satisfied with the AHP method and the ranking executed by it. Moreover, the significance value i.e. p-value = 0.373 > 0.05(5% alpha level), so we are unable to reject the null hypothesis (H0). Thus H0 is accepted and therefore, it can be finally concluded that, there is no significant relationship between the Suggestion for Validation of AHP and the Professional Qualification achieved by the Respondents of the respective institutions/ organizations. They have only suggested their weightages in the second stage questionnaire (validation survey), viewing the beautiful outcome of AHP in the MCDM, depending on their professional experience. V. CONCLUSION Therefore, according to the present study, the views of the respective organization’s experts on three selected criteria (Investment, Annual Savings and Payback Period) have been reflected when applied on the two individual case studies, as presented above. Solar energy being an alternative for fossil fuels and such renewable resource driven systems, where given as an option to the finance experts/decision makers of the organization, have achieved the highest rank in our present study (Case I - Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara). Accordingly, if IISWBM takes initiative to install Rooftop SPV, then after adding this alternative to the case study of IISWBM, is expected to come in the top priority in the Final Judgment Matrix of AHP. The respondents i.e. the decision makers for implementation of the Measures for Greening of Campus (MGC) were interviewed for the second time along with the result obtained from the procedure developed and applied in the present study, using the information provided by those respondents during the first meeting. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been fruitfully employed, as a multi criteria decision making process, in the present study, to prioritize the available retrofitting options or alternatives. The initially created apparently contradictory opinions (based on single criteria) were later on replaced by the ranking performed by the final judgment matrix of AHP and also accordingly were accepted by the respondents in the second stage survey questionnaires. Almost 92% respondents (11 respondents out of 12) are satisfied with the AHP method and the ranking executed by it and thus validates the outcome. Thus, the methodology developed in the present study is also validated for its _________________________________________________________________________________________________ IJIRAE: Impact Factor Value – SJIF: Innospace, Morocco (2016): 3.916 | PIF: 2.469 | Jour Info: 4.085 | ISRAJIF (2016): 3.715 | Indexcopernicus: (ICV 2015): 47.91 IJIRAE © 2014- 17, All Rights Reserved Page -45 Cases Valid Missing Total N Percent N Percent N Percent Qualification of Respondents vs. Suggestion for Validation of AHP 12 100.0% 0 0.0% 12 100.0%
