Main Article Content
This study addresses the impending challenge of construction and demolition waste (CDW) generation from the Czech Republic’s extensive panel housing estates, constructed between the 1950s and 1990s. These structures, representing a significant portion of the national housing stock, will eventually reach their operational lifespan, necessitating systematic waste management strategies. A novel estimation methodology is proposed to quantify demolition waste volumes through material-specific decomposition of panel building structures. The T06B panel system, widely deployed in Czech housing estates, serves as a selected case study. The structure, according to the Waste Catalogue, is used for the classification of specific waste types. From a cost perspective, individual fees for waste disposal or recycling are taken from the budgeting program database. The proposed methodology facilitates the predictive modelling of both demolition waste quantities and associated financial expenditures for disposal/recycling of individual waste categories, such as concrete, bricks, iron, plastic, etc.
