Modeling Construction Waste Generation towards Sustainability
On-site waste management is considered as an important part of the sustainable construction process in any construction project. In fact, almost all Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects require considerable effort in waste management as part of the requirement to obtain the LEED credits and rating. However, sustainable waste management is achievable only if the process is cost effective in addition to the underlying societal and environmental benefits. Planning on-site waste management process is essential to achieve economic benefits. However proper planning and execution is not possible without prediction of construction waste quantities linked to the project execution plan. The paper presents a novel method of grouping factors, thus reducing the number of variables for statistical analysis which requires for establishing relationships between quantity of waste and many factors such as labour, material and environmental related factors. . The research outlined in the paper considers the principles of "Activity Based Waste Generation" which enables the prediction of total waste from a project (i.e. cumulative waste from each of the activities). The presented methodology is part of the research on "developing a planning tool for construction waste management" which involves site monitoring, and data collections from several building construction projects in Calgary, Alberta.
