Eco-Costs of Air Pollution on Construction Equipment: A Comparison of Different Emissions Reduction Measures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Eco-costs are a measure to indicate environmental burden of aproject or aproduct. This paper presents a practical applicationof Eco-costsModel in evaluating different emissions reduction measures on construction equipment.We propose acomparison model withthe input data of emission reduction percentageand Eco-costs of emissions. Then, six emissions reduction measures are chosen to develop detailed processes in using the comparison model.The study provides a guide in evaluating air pollution ofdifferent emissions reduction measures on construction equipment, which shows a theoretical foundation on selecting emissions reduction measures.
