Abstract
Prefabricated building (PB) can effectively promote the low-carbon transformation of the construction industry. It is crucial to account for and analyze carbon emission sources and patterns during PB project materialization and develop an effective assessment and tracking platform. This study leverages Dynamo parametric modeling and coding to develop a scalable BIM system integrating carbon emission data with traceability. Combined with IoT technology, the platform is designed for accurate assessment and real-time tracking of carbon emissions during PB project materialization. Its effectiveness is evaluated, and optimization approaches are proposed. Evaluation results show that the platform improves real-time carbon emission tracking accuracy by approximately 30 % compared to traditional systems, achieving overall carbon reductions of 30−50 % during materialization, with potential reductions up to 60 %. The findings support the low-carbon transformation of the construction industry, offering a new framework and practical approach for carbon control, thus fostering the development of sustainable policies and practices.
期刊介绍:
The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns.
Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
