Because of variable factors in construction phase, measurement of carbon emission in construction industry is more difficult than in other industries. To enhance accuracy of the measurement, the impact of variable factors must be considered. In this paper, to understand the influence of variable factors in steel erection work, a carbon emission casual map was developed. The map demonstrates that the considerations of variable factors in measurement of carbon emission improves the accuracy. The results of this paper are expected to contribute to development of carbon emission casual map and carbon emission measurement model for the entire construction phase.

In today's construction industry, buildings have been more complicated and higher, the demands of steel works have been increasingly concerned, which makes the schedule planning and management more significant. However, in actual construction sites, management is more based on a manager's construction experience than productivity data accumulated in previous projects. Moreover, most of the existing studies also featured a theoretical approach rather than an analysis of data straightforwardly collected in sites. In this study, a steel-erection site was visited to collect productivity data. The study found that there were significant disparities between aboveground work productivity and underground work; one tower crane operated work and two tower crane operated; and work productivity conducted in clear weather condition, cloud and rainy. However, the productivities of 'first node on ground' and 'second node on ground' were estimated similar. The productivity data collected and factors affecting the productivity will help managers to plan and control their similar steel-erection works. This study will also be beneficial for those performing related studies.
