Building envelope renovation with prefabricated modules (BERPM) is a concept that implies multi hierarchized requirements and sub-systems, where socioeconomic, environmental and technologic aspects are related. Several private and public organizations are willing to implement BERPM into the building stock. Besides, technology developers are willing to market their output into the building renovation. How different stakeholders can achieve that goal successfully in a coordinate manner, considering aspects such as environmental and socioeconomic perspectives? When developing a technology, it is often necessary to contextualize the approach with the existing policies. The aim of this paper is to stablish a framework for guiding the appraisal of novel technology achievement on different stages. This assessment is aimed mainly for technology developers. Moreover, any member from the field of policymaking and built environment could take advantage of using it. According to the novel method, there are two kind of assessments. First, there is a qualitative evaluation, which is based on an adaptation of Axiomatic Design. This is carried out on early stages. Second, there is a quantitative rating based on an adaptation of Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS). This second evaluation is only performed when measurable results and indicators are gathered. Such assessing methodology was applied on the BERTIM project as a case study. The results of this case study showed the main challenges to be improved within the research project.     «
