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.
绿色建筑评价体系（GBRS）提出了一系列指标来衡量建筑物的可持续性水平，其中包括废物作为评估的类别之一。然而，从一个系统到另一个系统，指标的数量及其目的，以及它们所指的废物部分，差异很大。本研究确定了 10 个全球 GBRS 中与废物相关的指标。它们是根据不同的标准进行分类的（评估的废物部分、建筑物生命周期的阶段、废物层次结构和构成废物管理系统的阶段），以便随后通过每个 GBRS 的特定权重分析每个指标的重要性。最后，该指标在位于哥伦比亚的一栋建筑物的案例研究中得到了实施，以便量化每个系统在废物类别中实现的当前可持续性水平，并提出改进措施以提高该分数。通过这种方式，表明适当的废物管理可以提高建筑物的可持续性水平。
