The construction industry is one of the major contributors to global carbon emissions due to its high material and equipment usage thus, has obtained the world’s concern in implementing carbon reduction pathways. More accurate and reliable carbon emission data is one of the key elements in moving towards low-carbon emission goals of any industry. In that case, carbon emission tracking offers a huge contribution towards emissions reduction in the construction industry. Many research scholars emphasise the importance of carbon emissions tracking towards emissions reduction, but research attempts focusing on providing a comprehensive understanding of modern and innovative technologies of carbon emission tracking in the construction industry are still lacking. Hence, this research aims to review the innovative technologies for tracking carbon emissions in the construction industry through a systematic review. A Scopus-based systematic review was conducted to analyse the journal articles related to innovative technologies, carbon emissions tracking, and the construction industry and their intersections. The bibliometric techniques were used for the analysis of the results of the systematic review. Bibliometric analysis outcomes first reveal the evolution of journal articles, leading journals, leading authors, and leading countries published research on the intersection of innovative technologies, carbon emissions tracking, and the construction industry.

Further, this chapter provides a comprehensive underpinning of the conceptual development of the intersection of innovative technologies, carbon emissions tracking, and the construction industry over the years which provides a clear pathway for future research scholars in attempting to observe the practical implications of the use of innovative technologies for carbon emissions reduction in the construction industry.

摘要

The construction industry is one of the major contributors to global carbon emissions due to its high material and equipment usage thus, has obtained the world’s concern in implementing carbon reduction pathways. More accurate and reliable carbon emission data is one of the key elements in moving towards low-carbon emission goals of any industry. In that case, carbon emission tracking offers a huge contribution towards emissions reduction in the construction industry. Many research scholars emphasise the importance of carbon emissions tracking towards emissions reduction, but research attempts focusing on providing a comprehensive understanding of modern and innovative technologies of carbon emission tracking in the construction industry are still lacking. Hence, this research aims to review the innovative technologies for tracking carbon emissions in the construction industry through a systematic review. A Scopus-based systematic review was conducted to analyse the journal articles related to innovative technologies, carbon emissions tracking, and the construction industry and their intersections. The bibliometric techniques were used for the analysis of the results of the systematic review. Bibliometric analysis outcomes first reveal the evolution of journal articles, leading journals, leading authors, and leading countries published research on the intersection of innovative technologies, carbon emissions tracking, and the construction industry. Second, the different innovative technologies for tracking carbon emissions in the construction industry were recognised as a key contribution of the research. Further, this chapter provides a comprehensive underpinning of the conceptual development of the intersection of innovative technologies, carbon emissions tracking, and the construction industry over the years which provides a clear pathway for future research scholars in attempting to observe the practical implications of the use of innovative technologies for carbon emissions reduction in the construction industry.
