Green building rating systems (GBRS) propose sets of indicators to measure the level of sustainability of buildings, and include waste
as one of the categories to be assessed. Yet, both the number of indicators and their aim, as well as the waste fraction they refer to, vary
greatly from one system to another. This study identifies the waste-related indicators included in 10 global GBRS. They are classified
on the basis of different criteria (waste fraction assessed, stages of the life cycle of the building, waste hierarchy and stages that make
up the waste management system) so as to make it possible to subsequently analyse the importance given to each indicator through
the specific weightings of each GBRS. Finally, the indicators are implemented in the case study of a building located in Colombia, in
order to quantify the current level of sustainability achieved in the waste category of each system and to propose improvement actions
that allow this score to be improved. In this way, it is shown that proper waste management can increase the level of sustainability
of a building. [-]
