Sustainable economic growth, improvement of the social welfare and environmental sustainability depend upon the sufficient supply of energy resources, while the utilization of energy resources is one of the main factors of environmental degradation. This research is involved with energy indicators in three dimensions for sustainable development and a new method for sustainability assessment. We design aframework that shows the performance of energy indicators can be comprehensively measured and managed using four elements. To this end, the benefit-cost-value-risk (BCVR) methodology has been developed for performance evaluation and decision support. The objective of this paper is to propose a comprehensive performance expression method to evaluate sustainability
