Abstract

Under the guidance of the concept of green, low-carbon, energy-saving, environmental protection, and sustainable development, combined with the literature review at home and overseas and research on low-carbon construction in Chinese universities, this essay proposes a low-carbon campus evaluation index system. This system includes 5 first-level indicators and 17 second-level indicators from five dimensions, namely low-carbon management, low-carbon construction, low-carbon education, low-carbon research, and low-carbon life. In addition, this essay constructs a low-carbon campus evaluation model through using the fuzzy comprehensive analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Finally, it evaluates the construction of low-carbon campus in Chongqing Technology and Business University through using this model and verifies the validity of the model.
