The present paper discusses a study which aims to develop a method for choosing and managing in the best possible way heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in new and existing buildings. The method utilises a combination of two analysis’ tools, the multicriteria decision-making and the building simulation towards the direction of a holistic assessment of HVAC systems. In order to evaluate the method, a series of HVAC systems are considered for installing in an office building and the multicriteria method Electre III is applied for their selection. The results show that the proposed model allows the classification of alternative technical solutions concerning the HVAC's design, taking into consideration economic, energy and environmental criteria as well as criteria of users’ satisfaction. Finally, the study also indicates that when applying the sustainability concept in the building sector, and especially in the HVAC systems, this should concern the overall socioeconomic costs.
