Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Examples

[0009] <1>Summary (Fig. 1) Fig. 1 shows the overall configuration of an environmental load reduction amount calculation system for construction work (hereinafter simply referred to as "calculation system A") according to the present invention. Users related to calculation system A include the emission business operator C, the collection and transportation business operator D, the disposal business operator E, etc. In addition, although not shown in Fig. 1, the construction client (the principal) etc. may also be included in the users. Moreover, these assumed users as businesses include not only the prime contractor but also the subcontractor etc. as a matter of course. In addition, there may be a case where one business operator combines multiple types of business operators.

[0010] <1.1>Construction work In the present invention, construction work includes at least various works defined in Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Construction Industry Act, and naturally includes civil engineering works, architectural works, demolition works, etc. Especially in the case of demolition works, since the generation amount of industrial waste is large, it is suitable as an application target of the present invention.

[0011] <1.2>Emission business operator In the present invention, the emission business operator C is a business operator related to Article 3, Paragraph 1 of the Waste Disposal Act, and is a business operator that discharges waste along with business activities.

[0012] <1.3>Collection and transportation business operator In the present invention, the collection and transportation business operator D is a business operator that receives the transfer of industrial waste from the emission business operator C and conducts the business of transporting it to the disposal site.

[0013] <1.4>Disposal business operator In the present invention, the disposal business operator E is a business operator that conducts the business of disposing of industrial waste (intermediate treatment, final disposal, etc.).

[0014] <1.5>Usage purpose of users In the present invention, the target of users who use the calculation system A is not particularly limited, and each of the above-mentioned users can use it according to their respective purposes. For example, when the waste disposal operator C reports the completion of final disposal of industrial waste generated during the construction work to the orderer (client), in accordance with the recycling content of the industrial waste, in order to submit the data showing the amount of reduced environmental impact as added value information, the calculation system A can be used. Also, for collection and transportation operators and disposal operators, it becomes possible to visualize the environmental response during industrial waste disposal in their own operations.

[0015] <2> System Configuration (Figure 1) As shown in Figure 1, each user appropriately inputs and records various information (type, disposal amount, disposal destination, progress status, etc.) about the industrial waste generated during the construction work into the manifest system B based on the obligations defined by the Industrial Waste Law. Therefore, in the calculation system A according to this embodiment, the information stored in this manifest system B is utilized to calculate the amount of reduced environmental impact due to the recycling of industrial waste generated during construction work. The calculation system A is configured to include at least a reduction information storage unit 10, a final disposal information acquisition unit 20, and a reduction amount calculation unit 30. Each part constituting the calculation system A can be configured by arbitrarily combining hardware and software. In addition to this, various configurations can be adopted, such as a configuration where each part is an individual device, or a configuration where a single device serves multiple parts. Details of each part will be described below.

[0016] <3> Reduction Information Storage Unit (Figure 1, Figure 2) The reduction information storage unit 10 is a functional block for storing reduction information. Reduction information is a numerical value representing how much the environmental impact has been reduced when compared with a reference disposal method (e.g., in the case of only incineration without thermal recycling) according to the disposal content (including recycling) of each industrial waste at the final disposal location, and can be calculated in advance as a coefficient. Elements of environmental impact include the amount of suppression of the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane gas (CH4), hydrofluorocarbons (FHC), nitrous oxide (N2O), etc.

[0017] <3.1> Example of reduction information (Figure 2) Figure 2 is a table (reduction information table 11) showing a configuration example of reduction information. In Figure 2, the columns include the items of [final disposal location], [major classification name of industrial waste], [individual name], [reduction coefficient], and [recycling method]. In the column of "recycling method", the names of the disposal contents (recycling) of each industrial waste are described, and examples thereof include "thermal", "immobilization", "recycled crushed stone", etc. For example, in the row of NO.1, when the final disposal destination of the industrial waste with the major classification of "wood waste" and the individual name of "wood waste" is "workplace [1]", the recycling method is "thermal (reuse of heat during incineration treatment)", and 1 m 3 shows that the reduction coefficient per unit is 0.45. Also, in the row of NO.3, when the final disposal destination of the same industrial waste as NO.1 is "workplace [2]", the recycling method is "a combination of immobilization (naturally or artificially confined to suppress emissions into the atmosphere) and thermal (reuse of heat during incineration treatment)", and 1 m 3 shows that the reduction coefficient per unit is 0.82.

[0018] <3.2> Destination of use of reduction information In this way, in the reduction information storage unit 10, reduction information is stored by assigning recycling contents and reduction coefficients calculated in advance according to the recycling contents for each final disposal location and each type of industrial waste. And the reduction information is provided for use in the reduction amount calculation unit 30 described later.

[0019] <4> Final disposal information acquisition unit (Figure 1, Figure 3) The final disposal information acquisition unit 20 is a functional block for acquiring final disposal information. The final disposal information is information that includes at least the final disposal location and the disposal amount for each industrial waste generated in construction work. In this embodiment, the acquisition source of the final disposal information is the manifest system B based on the Industrial Waste Act, and part or all of the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) data of this manifest system B is used as the final disposal information.

[0020] <4.1>An example of the final disposal information (Figure 3) Figure 3 is a table (Final Disposal Information Table 21) showing a configuration example of the final disposal information. In Figure 3, the columns include the items of [Construction Site Name], [General Classification Name of Industrial Waste], [Individual Name], [Disposal Quantity], and [Final Disposal Location]. For example, in the row of NO.1, among the industrial waste generated from the "Construction of Mr. A's Residence", the disposal quantity of the industrial waste corresponding to the general classification "Wood Waste" and the individual name "Wood Waste" is 90m 3 And it indicates that the final disposal destination is Office [1]. Also, in the row of NO.4, among the industrial waste generated from the "Construction of Mr. A's Residence" as in NO.1, the disposal quantity of the industrial waste corresponding to the general classification "Fiber Waste" and the individual name "Mat" is 3m 3 And it indicates that the final disposal destination is Office [3].

[0021] <4.2>The final disposal information In this way, the final disposal acquisition unit acquires the final disposal information including at least the final disposal location and the disposal quantity for each industrial waste generated in the construction work from the manifest system B or the like. In the present invention, the acquisition method of the final disposal information is not particularly limited, and the final disposal acquisition unit may acquire it automatically, or it may be acquired by manual operation by the user. Also, the number of acquisitions and the acquisition frequency of the final disposal information are not particularly limited, and various methods can be selected, such as a method of acquiring all the information together at the end of the week or month, or a method of acquiring only the results extracted under various narrowing conditions such as the final disposal date and the site name. And the acquired final disposal information is provided for use in the reduction amount calculation unit 30 described later.

[0022] <5> Reduction amount calculation unit (Figs. 1 and 4) The reduction amount calculation unit 30 is a functional block that calculates the reduction amount of environmental load for each industrial waste generated in construction work based on the final disposal information and the reduction information. In the present invention, the method for calculating the reduction amount of environmental load is not particularly limited, but generally, a method of calculating the reduction amount by multiplying the disposal amount by the reduction information can be considered.

[0023] <5.1> Example of calculation result of reduction amount (Fig. 4) Fig. 4 is a table (calculation result table 31) showing a configuration example of the calculation result of the reduction amount. In Fig. 4, using the four-pattern final disposal information generated in the "Construction of Mr. A's Mansion" shown in Fig. 3 and the reduction information shown in Fig. 2, the reduction amount of environmental load (in this embodiment, "the amount of carbon dioxide generation suppression") for each pattern is calculated by the following calculation formula. [Formula 1] Reduction amount of environmental load = Disposal amount × Reduction coefficient [per 1 m 3 each]

[0024] <5.2> Output mode of calculation result (not shown in the figure) In the present invention, the output mode of the calculation result of the reduction amount of environmental load by the reduction amount calculation unit 30 is not particularly limited, and various modes can be adopted. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, it may be output as data in a table format such as csv format, or it may be output as data in a document format such as pdf format in which a graph or table showing the calculation result is arranged.

[0025] <6> Summary As described above, according to the calculation system A according to this embodiment, at the stage when the final disposal of industrial waste is completed, the EDI data accumulated in the manifest system B is acquired as the final disposal information, and using the pre-stored reduction coefficient, the reduction amount of environmental load in the final disposal of industrial waste is calculated and provided to each user's business partner as added value information.

Example

[0026] In the present invention, the acquisition destination of the final disposal information by the final disposal information acquisition unit 20 is not limited to the manifest system B based on the Industrial Waste Act. For example, it may be a database independently operated and managed by each user, or an external system provided as an alternative to the manifest system B based on the Industrial Waste Act.
