Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this article is to identify and estimate different inventories of emissions during construction activities. A unique approach for simulating construction materials and their stochastic embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is proposed. The % of carbon released by various equipment and materials with respect to construction activities was also measured to assess emissions inventory supported by construction project case example. Finding shows that the gross carbon emissions from construction materials was 5419.576 ton of CO2 whereas carbon emissions from sustainable construction materials was 752.383 ton of CO2. The findings of the study, which revealed a significant potential for an 86.19% reduction in carbon emissions by utilizing substitute substances in construction materials compared to conventional materials, have led to the proposal of important measures. These measures are crucial for identifying the primary sources of carbon emissions in construction activity and play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable construction practices and achieving green ratings for construction projects. The research will help sustainable construction & will pave the way for achieving an effective green rating for construction projects.
