Second, a green building supplier evaluation criterion system is constructed from five aspects: operation management, green management, cooperation potential, service level and product information. Finally, the IVPLTS-CBR model is used to evaluate the green building suppliers and groups them into three preset categories.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The feasibility and validity of the proposed method are verified by comparing with the advanced TOPSIS method and the IVPLTS-based VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method.
