ABSTRACT
The construction industry contributes significantly to global carbon emissions, releasing substantial amounts of CO2. To effectively evaluate and reduce these emissions, it is crucial to create corresponding reduction plans by monitoring carbon emissions throughout the construction process. However, current carbon emission monitoring methods mainly focus on material and electricity consumption, lacking actual field data that could precisely portray the project’s scale. This paper presents a design methodology for online monitoring technology in geotechnical engineering based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The methodology emphasizes sensing technology, criteria for sensor selection, and analysis of sensor node deployment. This results in an online monitoring system that accurately measures atmospheric CO2 concentration parameters and integrates electricity usage data to compute carbon emissions during construction. This system facilitates future trend analyses and strategic planning for carbon reduction.
