In the [portfolio view](/products/energ/get-started/navigation#portfolio-view), open `Dashboards` in the left sidebar, then select `Waste`. The page header reads **Waste** with the subtitle *Review your building waste usage & reporting.* Unlike Energy and Water, the Waste dashboard uses a single view without a secondary report menu. Open a building and select **Dashboards** > **Waste** for site-level KPIs, charts, and pickup entry on the [Building Waste dashboard](/products/energ/analytics/building-dashboards-waste). ## Open the Waste dashboard In the portfolio left sidebar, click `Dashboards`, then click `Waste`. Use **Select Buildings** to limit which properties appear. Choose a unit such as **Pounds** from the unit dropdown. Set the **date range** for the reporting window. Scan the metric cards for total waste, diversion, capture rate, and cost before you review charts below. ## Controls * **Add Waste Data** — enter or import waste readings when your workflow supports portfolio-level entry * **Select Buildings** — filter the dashboard to specific properties * **Unit** — display quantities in pounds, kilograms, or other supported units * **Date range** — define the period for KPIs and charts, such as 01/01/2026 – 05/22/2026 Portfolio Waste dashboard showing Add Waste Data button Select Buildings dropdown Pounds unit date range, KPI cards for Total Waste Diverted Waste Diversion Rate Data Capture Rate Total Cost and Cost Per Unit, Monthly Waste Quantity stacked chart for Composted and Disposed, and Monthly Waste Cost bar chart ## Summary metrics Six KPI cards appear below the header. | Metric | What it shows | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Total Waste** | Combined waste quantity for the selected scope and period | | **Diverted Waste** | Quantity routed away from landfill | | Diversion Rate | Percentage of total waste diverted | | Data Capture Rate | How completely waste streams are reported relative to expectations | | **Total Cost** | Waste management spend for the period | | **Cost Per Unit** | Average cost per unit of waste, such as \$/lbm | ## Monthly waste charts ### Monthly Waste Quantity The **Monthly Waste Quantity** chart stacks waste by disposal method each month. * **Composted** — material sent to composting (typically shown in green) * **Disposed** — material sent to landfill or disposal (typically shown in brown) Use this chart to see whether diversion improves month over month. ### Monthly Waste Cost The **Monthly Waste Cost** chart shows total waste management spend by month. Compare it with quantity trends to spot cost-per-unit changes. ## Diversion and composition Scroll below the monthly charts for portfolio breakdowns. Diversion and Data Capture Rate bar chart by building, Waste Composition by Stream bar chart for Cardboard and Plastics, and Waste Composition by Disposal Method bar chart for Composted and Disposed ### Diversion and Data Capture Rate Compare **Diversion Rate** bars (and **Data Capture Rate** when shown) across buildings or portfolio totals. ### Waste Composition by Stream See how much waste falls into each material stream, such as cardboard or mixed plastics. ### Waste Composition by Disposal Method See how volume splits between **Composted**, **Disposed**, and other configured methods. ## Top buildings Horizontal bar charts showing Top Buildings by Waste Quantity and Top Buildings by Waste Cost with One Financial Plaza as the top entry in each * **Top Buildings by Waste Quantity** — properties generating the most waste * **Top Buildings by Waste Cost** — properties with the highest waste management costs Use these rankings to prioritize audits, stream setup, or capital projects. Waste data often depends on manual entry at the building level. Confirm waste streams are configured on the [Building Waste dashboard](/products/energ/analytics/building-dashboards-waste#create-waste-streams) for sites you include in portfolio totals. ## Add waste data at portfolio level Click **Add Waste Data** when you need to record pickups or adjustments that apply to the selected building scope. For stream setup, use **Create Meter** on the [Building Waste dashboard](/products/energ/analytics/building-dashboards-waste#create-waste-streams). ## Next steps Review energy usage and emissions for the same portfolio scope. Review water consumption alongside waste reporting cycles. Review building-level KPIs and composition charts. Configure waste streams and data entry at the building level.
