Calculation of the Pareto Set for Some Civil Engineering Design Problem

The aim of this paper is to show, using chosen example, the possibility to analyze a set of feasible solutions for a certain dual-criteria, complex decision making problem. The analyzed problem concerns, in particular, the designing of a detached one-family cottage. The criteria include the total cost of building the house and its durability. The area of decision variables contains 22 elements, for which each element can have one of five values corresponding to the available building technology. The effect of the analysis carried out is the determination of the set of optimal solutions in the Pareto sense for the designing task. This set contains only five elements.
