Stage 5. A multiple criteria analysis of the composite parts of a climate change
mitigation and selection of the most efficient built environment life cycle
with focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation—henceforth
interlinking the received compatible and rational composite parts of a
climate change mitigation into a full climate change mitigation process.

3 Micro, Meso and Macro Factors that Influence
the Efficiency of the Built Environment in Climate
Change Mitigation and Adaptation Processes
In order to assure the efficiency of a project, it should be executed within certain
bounds that are determined by the built environment. The fact is that these factors
are different in each country, so also the possibilities for efficient realisation of
projects (see Fig.
2
) will also vary.
Figure

indicates diagrammatically the factors at micro, meso and macro level
which may impinge upon the efficiency of the built environment. This means that
to be efficient the built environment must operate within certain boundaries
