The excessive CO2 is produced through the construction phases including in the material production, in the construction of the building itself, and even in the demolition. Moreover, to save the cost, construction practitioners often neglect the environmental related issues. As a result, construction industry has become one of the main sectors yielding the greenhouse emission. This study develops Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for determining a set of trade-off solutions between construction cost and CO2 emission. Ant Colony Optimization is a stochastic-search technique inspired by the behavior of real ant colonies. A renovation project case study is provided to validate the performance of ACO. According to the result, the model attempts to minimize construction cost and CO2 emission of the project as two objectives. Moreover, ACO offers strong potential to facilitate the decision-making in construction management.
