However understanding of the technical and economic considerations for Received in revised format Feb- selection of appropriate retrofitting technology is still evolving and divergent. Thus this study ruary 20 2018 presents a framework that combines techno-economic requirements as a means for evaluating Accepted April 2 2018 Available online the important retrofitting criteria and suitable lighting retrofit technologies for building projects. April 2 2018 The framework is hinged on the unique features of entropy fuzzy and TOPSIS Technique for Keywords Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution methods. The analysis of the lighting tech- Lighting technology nology selection was performed from technical economic and techno-economic perspectives. Techno-economic criteria During the application of the proposed framework four lighting technologies CFL T5 E-bal- Public buildings last and T8-electronic and nine techno-economic criteria were considered. The most and least Decision making important techno-economic criteria for the case study were net present value and electricity TOPSIS saved respectively. The least and most suitable retrofitting .
