Description:
Environmental sustainability has been gaining importance not only in manufacturing but also in logistics and suply chain. Logistics sector has a significant responsibility in global energy consumption. The effect of warehouse on carbon emission demonstrates its importance about sustainability. One way of developing sustainable warehouses is using renewable energy sources. In a solar warehouse; which is an important example of sustainable warehousing, roof of the warehouse is covered with solar panels so, both energy costs and carbon emission are reduced. Warehouses have been turning into solar warehouse in recent years. In this situation economic dimension and environmental dimension of sustainability should be considered. While there is a substantial literature regarding sustainable supply chain, literature regarding sustainable warehousing is limited. In order to contribute this gap in the literature the problem conducted here is the determination of solar warehouse location. The aim of the research is to determine best location for a solar warehouse among alternatives. In this context first the alternative warehouses that can be turned into solar warehouse are determined then, the criteria which will be used in selection process is obtained from previous research. TOPSIS method is used to select the best location between six alternative locations. The evaluation of alternatives according to the criteria is obtained from expert opinions and secondary data. Alternatives are sorted according to TOPSIS results. The alternatives ranking list is compared with the ranking list obtained according to return on investment and some differences were observed between environmental and economic ranking lists.
