N2 - Carbon emissions in the construction phase will be more relatively significant over time. However, a real-Time emissions monitoring tool, which is essential to help construction teams avoid excessive emissions, has not been introduced yet. Therefore, with a focus on enhancing monitoring of carbon emissions in this stage, this paper proposes an IoT-based system framework that integrates a distributed sensor network to collect real-Time emissions data and a BIM virtual model to show the emissions status of different construction activities. In doing this, carbon emissions sources are firstly identified form three main activities in prefabricated construction: components manufacturing, transportation, and on-site installation. And different kinds of sensors, such as RFID, are adopted to acquire carbon-related data, which will be stored and extracted in a potential database. In addition, an on-line BIM platform is developed to visualize the emissions at different times in the construction processes and help project team to take corrective action to against potential emissions. This system framework is considered as a promising approach to encourage exploration of possible strategies to cut down carbon emissions in construction industry.
