摘要: AbstractCommercial construction operations are heavy users of nonroad equipment and diesel engines. These engines large contributors carbon dioxide (CO2) other engine-based pollutants consume quantities fuel. This paper presents a case study to identify activities that cause the most emissions fuel use on project determine when where these occur. The links with schedule establish temporal relationship. RSMeans was used obtain productivity. Equipment emission rates were obtained from EPA’s NONROAD Model. A sensitivity analysis conducted investigate effect changes in scheduling, size, EPA engine tier use. Site proved be heaviest polluters caused significant spike early project. Further is recommended validate tr...
