Research on the Evaluation of Prefabricated MEP Systems for Energy Stations Based on the AHP–Entropy–Fuzzy Model

Prefabricated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems have been increasingly adopted in energy station projects; however, systematic evaluation frameworks capable of integrating construction performance, cost constraints, and uncertain multi-indicator assessments remain limited. To address this gap, this study constructs an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)–Entropy–Fuzzy evaluation framework to assess the comprehensive benefits of BIM-enabled prefabricated MEP construction in energy stations. A hierarchical evaluation system was established based on five dimensions: schedule, quality, cost, safety, and environmental performance, and ten secondary indicators were defined. The Analytic Hierarchy Process was used to determine expert-based subjective weights, the entropy method was applied to capture objective data variability, and multiplicative normalization was employed to obtain combined weights. A fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model was then introduced to transform heterogeneous construction records into comparable benefit levels and scores. The prefabricated method scored 87.80 and was classified as “high”, whereas the conventional method scored 60.85 and was classified as “low”. A Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)-based sensitivity analysis further showed that, under 10%, 20%, and 50% criterion-weight perturbations, the prefabricated group consistently achieved higher closeness coefficients than the conventional group. The smallest margin occurred when the schedule weight was reduced by 50%, but the prefabricated group retained a positive advantage. The results demonstrate that Building Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled prefabricated MEP construction can achieve superior overall project performance through the coordinated optimization of schedule, cost, safety, quality, and environmental objectives, offering a practical evaluation framework and decision-support tool for the industrialized delivery of future energy infrastructure projects.
