8R.1 GREEN STAR GUIDE 8R.1.1 Green Star Rating Information Sheet What is the Green Rating Star environmental rating system? The Green Star environmental rating system for buildings was developed by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA). Green star is a comprehensive rating system for evaluating the environmental design and performance of Australian buildings based on a number of categories. The nine categories included within all Green star rating tools are: • Management • Indoor Environmental Quality • Energy • Transport • Materials • Land use and Ecology • Emissions • Innovation • Water These categories are divided into credits, each of which addresses an initiative that improves or has potential to improve environmental performance. Points are awarded in each credit for actions that demonstrate that the project has met the overall objectives of Green Star. Once all claimed credits in each category are assessed, a percentage score is calculated and Green Star environmental weighting factors are then applied. Note: See 8R.1 of this Part for GBCA Credit Summary Example What do Green Star ratings mean? Green Star rating tools use stars to measure performance: i) 4 Star Green Star Certified rating (score 45-59) signifies ‘Best Practice’ in environmentally sustainable design and/or construction; ii) 5 Star Green Star Certified rating (score 60-74) signifies ‘Australian Excellence’ in environmentally sustainable design and/or construction; iii) 6 Star Green Star Certified rating (score 75-100) signifies ‘World Leadership’ in environmentally sustainable design and/or construction. Projects that obtain a 4 Star rating or above using the GBCA rating tools, are eligible to apply for formal certifi cation through the GBCA, following which they are permitted to advertise their status as “green buildings”. Why should buildings have a Green Star Rating? p 118 Draft Ku-ring-gai Local Centres Development Control Plan 2012 Green Star Rating confi rms that the building is designed with sustainable principles that will contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions and the preservation of non-renewable material sources. It also sets up a system of ongoing sustainable management that enables the ongoing operation of the building to remain sustainable. In addition, there are many business benefi ts of Green Star buildings as outlined below:
8R.1 GREEN STAR GUIDE (continued) 8R 8R.1.1 Green Star Rating Information Sheet Lower operating costs Green buildings are built for high energy and water effi ciency, so they are cheaper to operate. Green buildings achieve energy savings of at least 20-30% when compared with industry standards, and sometimes much more. The Szencorp Building at 40 Albert Road in South Melbourne, for instance, was the fi rst existing offi ce refurbishment in Australia to be awarded a 6 Green Star - Offi ce Design rating, and has reported energy savings of over 70% after two years of operation. Higher return on investment Green buildings deliver a higher return on investment. The McGraw Hill Construction Report (2007) found that building green increases a property’s value by 7.5% and improves the return on investment by 6.6%. the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ report Green Value: Growing Buildings, Growing Assets (2006) confi rms this, revealing that green building practices improve an asset’s value by securing tenants more quickly, commanding higher rents or prices, enjoying lower tenant turnover, costing less to operate and maintain, attracting grants, subsidies and other inducements, and improving business productivity for occupants, which affects churn, renewals, inducements and fi tting out costs. Greater tenant attraction More tenants are seeking environmentally sustainable , healthy and productive workspaces that demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility. The BCI Australia Green Building Market Report (2008) found that client demand is one of the primary drivers for committing to green building, with 65% of respondents nominating it as an important factor. In return, owners are rewarded with decreased vacancy periods and a subsequent increase in occupancy ratios of 3.5%. Enhanced marketability REFERENCES The owners of Australia’s fi rst Green Star certifi ed project at 8 Brindabella Circuit in Canberra say they could not put a fi nancial fi gure on the amount of free publicity they have received from their green building, both through their Green Star certifi cation and their subsequent environmental awards. In fact, the owners have needed to completely rethink their marketing strategy, as they now have a waiting list of prospective tenants. Productivity benefits Green buildings consistently outperform non-green buildings in terms of comfort and productivity. Natural light, fresh air and access to views of the outdoors, as well as control over their own individual workspace temperature and lighting, can directly affect productivity.
