How is Waste Intensity calculated?

There are 4 Waste Intensity Metrics. They are all based on your building’s Gross Floor Area (waste/GFA).

  • Total Waste (Disposed and Diverted) - Intensity
  • Total Waste (Disposed and Diverted) - Cost Intensity
  • Diverted Materials - Intensity
  • Diverted Materials - Cost Intensity

Currently, there are no metrics based on number of workers in a building.

Diverted materials include: Composted, Recycled, and Donated materials.
