摘要:The concept of sustainability in construction has been widely accepted among all stakeholders of theindustry. However, at present, there has been a lack of sufficient, credible and reliable quantitative indictors, metricsand/or data on the actual benefits of sustainable construction. In particular, reduction of environmental effects duringconstruction activities has been one of the main issues facing stakeholders. This study represents a single processemission analysis for the hollow-core floor systems of our case studies using theconstruction environmental decisionsupport tool (CEDST). A comprehensive set of results is obtained from the study. These results are presented inseveral categories for comparative assessment - energy use, Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO),Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), PM10 and VOC emissions. Other categories include solid wasteand liquid emissions.
