Abstract— Energy is now an indispensible resource for any activities in our day to day life. Optimum use of
energy is more and more discovered today to be the secret of technological, economic and social supremacy of any
nation in general and sustainability of human civilization to be more specific. Appropriate Energy Policy for the
international and national bodies is at an evolving stage as research has revealed that sustainability of any
organization is directly related to optimum use of energy which is reflected in Sustainability Index. Such policies
on implementation through planning and analysis of energy intensive processes and gadgets, often stalled at a
point of ambiguity because of lack of scientific parameters to help in the decision making process. For example, in
energy studies and energy audit, the recommendations seems to be better with respect to other on certain
parameters, such as, energy saving, CO2 emission reduction, monetary saving, pay-back-period, return-on-
investment, internal-rate-of-return, etc. However, different parameters often suggests different order of
preference for such recommendations leading to conflicts and stalling the implementation process and thus
retarding the sustainability march of the body in particular and nation as well as globe in general. The present
paper also finds a scientific solution to turn the conflict into a binding force by incorporating each opinion in a
Multi-Criteria Decision Making Process leading to obvious ranking of alternatives through application of tools,
such as AHP and ELECTRE. The various cases also presented in the paper confirm the validity of the process in
University Campus, Greening of Buildings and Industry.
