ABSTRACT = {The equipment used in the construction industry is usually associated with a high impact on the environment.

AB  - The equipment used in the construction industry is usually associated with a high impact on the environment. Although sustainable design has shown to be a main player among the initiatives focused on reducing environmental impact, it has been driven by the workers and processes, leaving the equipment endeavors in more restrictive and later stages.
