Abstract

Construction is an activity of planning and implementation based on a detailed contract document, especially for buildings. The implementation of construction projects that are effective, efficient, qualified, reliable, and environmentally friendly need to be supported by quality assurance of construction resources so that they can be classified as green construction. In this case, construction equipment is an important factor in every construction work, one of them is by paying attention to the specifications of construction heavy equipment and appropriate transportation equipment starting from the initial stage of project planning. This aims to reduce the carbon emissions generated from each of these tools. The location used for research, is a government office building and the data is accompanied by Bill of Quantity (BOQ) consisting of preparation, soil work, foundation work and structural work. The results showed that foundation and mobilization of construction materials required a large amount of fuel compared to others. With the greater amount of fuel used, the emissions produced will be equivalent. One of the solutions is to choose the closest construction material pick-up route during the work is in progress. Thus, the percentage of carbon can be reduced to 20% of total emissions of building structural works.
