Thesis (PhD(Architecture))--University of South Australia, 2020. Includes bibliographical references (pages 444-470) This thesis proposes a Construction and Demolition Waste Mapping Protocol (CDWiMaP), which aims to address poor construction waste analytics by providing real-time data from construction sites. A quantitative research methodology is designed for this purpose embracing geospatial and remote sensing methods and tools. 31 Key Performance Indicators and a unified taxonomy are employed to measure and classify the resulting CDW materials in a standardised way. A web map and interactive dashboard are developed in the ‘ArcGIS online’ to analyse and visualise the spatial data. 35,000 tn of CDW materials were resulted, while 33,944 tn of them were diverted from landfills avoiding 10,000 tn of CO2e. The average global warming potential of CDW was found equal to 500Kg CO2e/tn. A further reduction of 12% could have been achieved through this model, while site 3 had the best environmental performance. |
