Introduction

Our website focuses on environmental sustainability by using a map-based interface to collect user input. It allows users to analyze the environmental conditions of a selected area through an Environmental Sustainability Score (ESS) system. The system factors in:

• Air Quality
• Pollution Levels
• Humidity
• Number of Trees
• Temperature
• Wind Speed
• Soil Type
• Number of Buildings

New Key Features

• Interactive Map Interface: Users select a location to analyze its environmental conditions and visualize the impact of different types of constructions on the map.
• Environmental Sustainability Score: Using AI models, it calculates the environmental sustainability score for different building types and construction stages (Before, During, and After).
• Comprehensive Environmental Analysis Report: Includes calculations of AQI changes, earthquake resistance requirements, flood risks, tree cut/replant ratios, and emissions from various activities.

Environmental Sustainability Score (ESS)

The ESS report generates a score between 0 and 100, which represents the sustainability of the construction.

• Low Scores trigger the need for remedies to mitigate environmental impacts.
• Recommendations include methods to improve air quality, reduce pollution, and more.

Input Forms

The data collection forms allow users to enter detailed information for each building type. Example inputs include:

• Factory: Floors, Depth, Fuel, Product
• Flat: Floors, Depth, Number of Apartments
• Tenement: Floors, Depth, Number of Vehicles
• Commercial Building: Floors, Depth (Parking), Number of Stores, Number of Vehicles

Output Factors:

The system evaluates a range of environmental metrics, including:

• AQI: Minimum, Maximum (during construction), and Net Change after construction
• Earthquake Resistance: Depth required to make the building resistant, based on magnitude and probability
• Flood Risk: Probability and risks from nearby water resources
• Tree Impact: Number of trees to be cut and replanting ratio (1:15, where 1 tree cut = 15 saplings)
• Emissions: Estimates for PM10, CO2, and other pollutants based on construction activities and fuel types

Final Report and Mitigation Measures

The final report outlines:

• Environmental Aspects affected by construction, with specific insights for each building type.
  • Environmental Analysis Report
• Mitigation Measures to help reduce the impact.
  • Sustainability Report

These measures focus on pollution reduction, air quality improvement, and other environmental considerations.

Emission and Environmental Calculations

Here are some key formulas and calculations used to estimate the environmental impacts:

Air Quality Index (AQI) Calculation:

[ AQI = \left( \frac{I_{high} - I_{low}}{C_{high} - C_{low}} \right) \times (C - C_{low}) + I_{low} ]

PM10 Emissions from Construction:

• Normal Depth: ( E_{PM10} = D \times A \times EF )
• Earthquake Depth: ( E_{PM10} = V \times \rho \times EF )

Power Plant Emissions:

[ E = Q \times FC \times EF ]

Emissions from Different Fuel Types:

• Coal: ( E_{CO2, coal} = Q_{coal} \times 2200 )
• Diesel: ( E_{CO2, diesel} = Q_{diesel} \times 2700 )
• Charcoal: ( E_{CO2, charcoal} = Q_{charcoal} \times 3000 )
• Other fuel types have similar formulas based on specific emission factors.

Industry-Specific Impact Calculations:

• Textile: Water pollution and solid waste from scraps. ( W = Q \times EF )
• Electronics: E-waste and toxic chemicals. ( W = Q \times EF )
• Automobile: Air pollution and manufacturing waste. ( E = Q \times EF )

These formulas provide a basic framework for estimating emissions from various pollution sources. For detailed calculations, specific parameters and emission factors are considered based on technology, location, and industry standards.

Frontend Output

Our website generates the following output for users after data collection and ESS analysis:

• Fuel Emissions
• Impact Category
• Material Usage
• Overall Impact
• PM10 Emissions
• Total Emissions

These outputs provide a comprehensive analysis of the environmental effects of the construction and possible ways to mitigate negative impacts.

Roadmap

• Additional browser support
• Add more integrations
