Method and device for predicting fine dust emissions at construction sites

Device for predicting fine dust emissions at construction sites by calculating the weighted sum of direct and fugitive emission factors

This technology is a predictive device that calculates and stores fine dust emission factors for each type of construction equipment, generates activity scenarios based on design information, and calculates the total fine dust emissions at construction sites.

Fine dust at construction sites varies significantly depending on the type of equipment and its activity, making it difficult to accurately predict emissions by accounting for both direct and fugitive sources.

By calculating and aggregating emissions for each piece of equipment using emission factors that combine direct and fugitive emission factors, this technology can be applied to construction site environmental management to predict total fine dust emissions.

Key Features:

• A fine dust emission factor calculation unit that generates fine dust emission factors defined according to construction equipment and their respective construction activities.
• A database that stores fine dust emission factors and a design information input unit that receives design information, including basic project data and construction specifications.
• A scenario generation unit that creates activity scenarios for construction equipment based on the design information.
• An emission calculation unit that calculates and aggregates emissions for each piece of equipment based on activity scenarios and emission factors to determine the total fine dust emissions at the site.
