主 题:green construction lean construction equipment simulation earthwork construction sustainability productivity
摘 要:One limitation of previous productivity-driven research on equipment selection and operation simulation lies in the fact that the green aspects of construction activities have been largely neglected in analysis of costefficiency of construction *** the other hand,studies attempting to measure greenhouse gas emission due to construction activities have yet to develop a methodology that correlates their findings and implications with construction *** order to address the immediate need for improving the sustainability performance of construction projects,it is imperative for the construction industry to evaluate greenhouse gas emission as a cost factor in construction planning,equipment selection,and cost *** this context,this paper formalizes an integrative framework for equipment cost analysis based on the concepts of lean construction and green construction,aimed to guide the selection of appropriate construction equipment considering exhaust emission and productivity performance at the same *** framework is elaborated in earthwork construction in order to evaluate the impact of greenhouse gas emission in estimating equipment hourly rates and assessing greenness and sustainability for alternative equipment options.
