Brick debris that makes up the majority of construction waste has not received proper waste disposal in Indonesia. On the other hand, brick debris could be potentially reused as non-structural building materials to reduce its negative impact on the environment. This study aims to test the effectiveness of soundproofing on recycled brick debris. The soundproof test was carried out on brick debris in the form of fine and coarse grains. The simulation box is then used as a support for the brickwork material and then the box is exposed to a sound source with a certain level of noise that is considered disturbing human comfort. Noise level measurements are made in the outside and inside the box. These measurements are tabulated and then analyzed to see the success of the two aggregates in reducing noise. Basically, the brickwork material has succeeded in becoming a recycled building material that can absorb noise, although further research must be carried out to be able to state that this material is truly ready to be used as an alternative building material with good acoustic capabilities.

In their activities, humans produce a large amount of wastes. A sharp increase in consumption resulted in a large volume of solid domestic wastes, which must be combated. All this poses a certain life threat to mankind. However, there is no totally waste-free production. That is why the most effective way of waste disposal should be chosen. That is why it is necessary to choose the most effective way of waste utilization with minimization of environmental and economic risks.

The purpose of this study is to analyze CO2 emission based on computation of construction waste which occurs during new constructions. To accomplish the purpose, Basic unit data of existing construction wastes was analyzed and basic unit of construction wastes generated during new constructions was proposed. In addition, basic unit of CO2 in the disposal process of construction waste established as the national LCI DB of Korea was applied to analyze CO2 emission during the disposal process of waste (landfill, incineration, recycling) generated during new constructions. As a result, flammable materials showed relatively high emission of 17.75kg-CO2/kg and 2.40kg-CO2/kg for the landfill process and recycling process, and inflammable materials had high emission of 0.74kg-CO2/kg for the incineration process. As a result of analysis for each waste, emission was found to be in decreasing order of landfill and recycling processes for concrete, recycling, landfill and incineration processes for metals, incineration, recycling and landfill processes for wood and flammable materials, and landfill, recycling and incineration processes for inflammable materials.

The issue of sustainability has long been the subject of interest of the architecture engineering and construction sector. All three aspects of sustainability - economic, environmental and social - can be affected through appropriate construction waste management. Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is one of the largest worldwide waste streams, therefore it is given great attention by all stakeholders (investors, contractors, authorities, etc.). Researches have shown that one of the main barriers to insufficiency CDW recovery is inadequate policies and legal frameworks to manage CDW. It is also one of the EU's environmental priorities. Aim of the article is to confirm the economic potential of construction and demolition waste audit processing through case study. A pre-demolition waste audit has been processed for unused building of shopping center in the town Snina in Slovakia. Subsequently, a comparison of economic parameters (waste disposal costs and transport costs) of recommended CDW management was performed. This comparison confirmed the economic benefits of environmentally friendly construction waste management methods according to the waste audit results, which will also increase the sustainability of construction projects. In addition, the cost parameters of selected waste disposal methods could be another dimension of building information modelling.
