N2 - The construction sector is one of the main contributors of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Previous studies have focused on the calculation and analysis of the carbon footprint of construction activities. However, few studies have reported on real-time monitoring systems for GHG emissions. Cyber-physical system (CPS), an information technology-based method, has been identified as a potential solution to address problems in the construction industry. This paper proposes a CPS-based system framework that enables supervisors to monitor and control GHG emissions in real-time by considering the manufacturing process of prefabricated components as a case study. To develop a CPS-based GHG emission monitoring system, the emission sources are first identified. Second, the technologies essential for the system are introduced. Finally, the framework of the GHG emission monitoring system is designed comprising four parts: (1) acquiring carbon-related data, (2) analyzing data in a virtual model based on Building Information Modeling, (3) setting the warning threshold, and (4) controlling the GHG emissions through mobile devices.
