Carbon Emissions Analysis for Construction Process
Carbon emissions contribute greatly to climate change, which is about 82.9% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Many researches focus on the source of carbon emissions and find that construction industry is one of the sources which is responsible to higher CO2 emissions in the world. In order to cut down the carbon emissions, energy efficient building design and low carbon materials are introduced to building sector, which are commendable methods to sustainably decrease the carbon emissions during project operation stage. However, the environmental impacts associated with construction process should not be underestimated. Because construction process is always separated into many phases, the process is complex and has many participants, the calculation of carbon emissions during construction process is not an easy thing. The divergence and limitation exist both on the research range and the carbon sourcing method. This research used emissions factor method and construction quota to calculate the carbon emissions during the construction stage, analysis the relationship of construction machine consumption and the total carbon emissions during the construction process, as well as find out which activity has the more emissions reduction potential. This paper helps the project manager have a clear understanding of the activities which lead to more carbon emissions and find the method of improving the onsite logistics process to get a clean construction method.
