Li R., Zhou H., Tian R., 2016, Eco-efficiency Evaluation of Construction Industry with Pollution Output: a DEA Approach, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 55, 451-456.
We propose the efficiency evaluation framework of construction industry on the basis of taking advantage of eco-efficiency concept and employing DEA approach. When doing DEA analysis, we consider their influence on environment and treat the carbon dioxide emission as pollution output so that it is able to improve the science of efficiency evaluation of construction industry and the usefulness of decision-making. Based on the DEA model with pollution output considered and the related data of construction industry from 2008 to 2013, we measured the eco-efficiency, economic efficiency and environmental efficiency of construction industry in each region and tested the correlation of these three kinds of efficiency. The results show the highest efficiency of construction industry is eco-efficiency, followed by economic efficiency and environmental efficiency, and there is much room for the improvement of environmental efficiency. The efficiency of construction industry in different regions are obviously different, and the average value of efficiency in eastern area is higher than that of central and western area.
