DEVELOPMENT OF WASTE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION TOOL (WMPET) OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
As the international-level concern has been focused on the environmental sustainability in recent years, such as conclusion of Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997, many researches emphasized the needs for methods and techniques that would facilitate sustainability assessment and decision making at the various project level interfaces. As part of methods and techniques to facilitate sustainability assessment, this paper provides Computerized Waste Management Performance Evaluation Tool for the purpose of assessing the level of management system in dealing with the on-site construction wastes. In addition, the tool can address appropriate actions to expedite the effective waste management for sustainable construction environment. This tool applies 30 waste management performance factors for the purpose of evaluating the level of waste management performance by scoring those factors which were identified in the previous research. These 30 factors are classified into four categories: manpower, material, method, and management based on their characteristics. In order to develop this tool, first, the weight for categories and factors are computed and sub-factors of each factor are also identified for users to effectively quantify waste management performance through data collection from construction practitioners. The second phase of the research is to develop an excel-based computerized tool characterized by three sub-systems: the first one includes a scoring process for waste management performance in the perspective of users, the second one is related to an evaluation system computing the waste management index representing the level of waste management performance, and the third one addresses corrective actions to expedite the effective waste management. If WMPET can be developed in more detail and be used as the method to control waste management at a project level for the future, it is expected that this tool can play an important role in the body of knowledge of environmental management in construction industry.
