attachment two GBCA and Green Star accredited buildings 48 The Green Building Council of Australia is a national, not-for-profit organisation that is supported by both industry and governments across the country. Launched in 2002, the Green Building Council’s mission is to promote sustainable development and drive the adoption of green building practices through market-based solutions. The Green Building Council aims to drive the transition of the Australian property industry towards sustainability by promoting green building programs, technologies, design practices and operations. Central to achieving these aims the Green Building Council launched the Green Star environmental rating system for buildings in 2003. GREEN STAR The Green Star environmental rating system recognises and rewards environmental leadership in the building industry. Green Star rating tools are being released for different phases of development (i.e. design, construction, procurement and operation) and all building types (office, retail, education, health, residential etc.). Green Star builds on exisitng environmental rating systems for buildings, including the UK’s ‘BREAAM’ (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) and North America’s ‘LEED’(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by establishing individual environmental measurement criteria relevant to the Australian marketplace and unique environmental context. Green Star rating tools use stars to measure performance. Projects that obtain a self-assessed 4 Star rating (or above) are eligible to apply for formal certification. Green Star is Australia’s only comprehensive, industry-owned, national, voluntary environmental rating system for buildings. Green Star is the only rating system in Australia that evaluates the environmental impact of Australian buildings at all phases of development and across all environmental categories, including: • Management • Indoor Environmental Quality • Energy • Transport • Water • Materials • Land Use and Ecology • Emissions INTERACTION WITH OTHER TOOLS Green Star was developed and funded by industry and government. Green Star’s framework brings existing tools and standards together under one unified system. Green Star rating tools are relevant to building type, phase of development cycle and geographical location. Green Star awards points for best practice initiatives and, as such, projects that receive a Green Star Certified Rating have demonstrated leadership and are considered to be in the top quartile of the market. Recognising the existence of other regulatory tools and to ensure project teams are not doubling up on their efforts, Green Star rating tools incorporate the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) scheme under the Energy Category. Green Star also addresses other energy efficiency initiatives such as onsite demand management, energy metering for base building and tenancies and more. GREEN STAR CERTIFICATION All Green Star rating tools recognise and reward initiatives that reduce the environmental impact of development. Points are awarded under eight environmental categories where a project demonstrates that initiatives have been met. A total score for each environmental category is calculated and a weighing is applied to this score that reflects the geographical location of the project and the enviornmental impact. Green Star rating tools use stars to measure performance. Projects that obtain a self-assessed 4 star rating (or above) are eligible to apply for formal certification, whereby a: • 4 Star Green Star Certified Rating recognises and rewards “Best Practice”; • 5 Star Green Star Certified Rating recongises and rewards “Australian Excellence”; and • 6 Star Green Star Certified Rating recognises and rewards “World Leadership”.
