近年來環境的議題在各產業中都備受重視，營建業亦是其中之一。國際標準組織於1996年提出ISO 14001環境管理系統，提供規範讓組織能有效地管理環境相關議題，降低對環境造成的衝擊。
在台灣，由於政府沒有法令規範或獎勵措施，加上營建業對環境管理系統實施的不了解，故僅有少數公司嘗試執行環境管理系統，但多在摸索階段。
本研究探討營建業如何實施環境管理系統，提出實施的方法和流程，並比較製造公司和營造廠的異同。接著找出5個環境考量面，分別為氣體排放、廢污水排放、廢棄物產生、資源使用、當地議題，並在各議題下建立數個指標，共16個。以氣體排放為例，使用2個指標：溫室氣體排放、揚塵抑制措施費用，前者加總主要材料的使用量，乘以對應之碳排放係數算出，後者加總揚塵抑制措施的材料成本與人事費用算出。指標資料可每日、週、月收集，每月初整理成月報表，供內部稽核與驗證。
接著訪談兩家營造廠、一家顧問公司、一家驗證公司，討論並修正16指標內容與計算方法，提升適用性。此外，為探討執行指標之先後順序，也找出五個準則：法規、生產成本、市場、利害關係人、容易收集，推導出可優先執行的指標為：揚塵應抑制措施費用、逕流廢水措施費用、廢棄物總量、罰款金額、環保訓練時數與工地內外清潔費用等6個。
從訪談結果得出，5個準則中「容易收集」最重要，「生產成本」次之。但每個工程因地區、規模和規定不盡相同，管理者可視其需求，參照本研究結果選用適當指標，記錄工程造成之環境影響。

Environmental issues have been awared by the construction industry recently. But it is difficult for construction companies to manage environmental issues without systematical methods. The main objectives of this research are: (1) provide a guide for construction companies to implement EMS (environmental management system), (2) establish environmental performance indicators to evaluate impact caused by construction companies, and (3) guide the construction companies to choose the appropriate indicators to implement. By means of reviewing ISO14001 specification and related literature, EMS implementation procedures and indicators were established. In order to improve the interpretation and application of indicators, this research further conducted interviews (including two construction companies, one consultant company and one certification authority). Finally, 16 indicators were established, for different projects with different requirements. Therefore, 5 criteria were utilized to select indicators for evaluating environmental impacts.
