11 - Waste

This category encourages the sustainable management (and reuse where feasible) of construction and operational waste through future maintenance and repairs associated with the building structure and interiors. By encouraging good design and construction practices, issues in this section aim to optimise material reuse, reduce the waste arising from the refurbishment and fit-out as well as through operation of the building, encouraging its diversion from landfill. It includes recognition of measures to reduce future waste as a result of the need to alter the building in the light of future changes to climate.
