Wastes from construction activities constitute nowadays the largest by quantity fraction of solid wastes in urban areas. In addition, it is widely accepted that the particular waste stream contains hazardous materials, such as insulating materials, plastic frames of doors, windows, etc. Their uncontrolled disposal result to long-term pollution costs, resource overuse and wasted energy. Within the framework of the DEWAM project, a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) application - namely DeconRCM - has been developed, aiming towards the identification of the optimal construction and demolition waste (CDW) management strategy that minimises end-of-life costs and maximises the recovery of salvaged building materials. This paper addresses both technical and functional structure of the developed web-based application. The web-based DSS provides an accurate estimation of the generated CDW quantities of twenty-one different waste streams (e.g. concrete, bricks, glass, etc.) for four different types of buildings (residential, office, commercial and industrial). With the use of mathematical programming, the DeconRCM provides also the user with the optimal end-of-life management alternative, taking into consideration both economic and environmental criteria. The DSS's capabilities are illustrated through a real world case study of a typical five floor apartment building in Thessaloniki, Greece.
如今，建筑活动产生的废物在城市地区的固体废物中占据了最大的数量份额。此外，人们普遍认为，这种特殊的废物流含有危险物质，如绝缘材料、门窗的塑料框架等。如果这些废物得不到控制地处理，将会导致长期的污染成本、资源过度利用和能源浪费。在 DEWAM 项目的框架内，开发了一个基于网络的决策支持系统（DSS）应用程序，即 DeconRCM，旨在确定最佳的建筑和拆除废物（CDW）管理策略，以最小化生命周期成本并最大限度地回收 salvaged 建筑材料。本文介绍了开发的基于网络的应用程序的技术和功能结构。该基于网络的 DSS 为二十一种不同的废物流（例如混凝土、砖块、玻璃等）在四种不同类型的建筑物（住宅、办公、商业和工业）中生成的 CDW 数量提供了准确的估计。通过使用数学规划，DeconRCM 还为用户提供了最佳的生命周期结束管理选择，同时考虑了经济和环境标准。通过对希腊塞萨洛尼基一栋典型的五层公寓楼的实际案例研究，展示了 DSS 的功能。
