Abstract
With the increase of construction projects, planners should account for the effects on the environment as one of the most viable criteria. Embodied Carbon Emission (ECE) resulting from all activities has been quantified along with the cost of the carbon capture system. Estimation of the performance and cost to determine the value necessitates consideration of the Carbon Capture use and Storage (CCS) that uses a combination of technologies to capture the CO2 released by fossil fuel combustion or an industrial process, transport it to a suitable storage location, and finally store it (typically deep underground) where it cannot enter the atmosphere and thus contribute to climate change. CCS represents the term that incorporate embodied carbon emission of the various alternatives into the Value Engineering (VE) function. In this thesis, a survey on Embodied Carbon Emission (ECE) of various construction materials is done; hence the cost of Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) can be included in the Value Engineering (VE) function. To investigate the limitations of applying VE in construction projects in Delta region, a questionnaire, which targeted a number of those interested in construction projects, has been constructed. The questionnaire indicated that the majority of them do not have the techniques of applying value engineering in their projects. Using environmental friendly alternatives for materials as well as methods of construction, besides of the main governing factors: Cost, Construction time, Durability, Productivity, Accuracy, Finishing surface, Safety and Labor saving.
