Green Building Council of Australia
Green Star is a comprehensive, national, voluntary environmental rating system that evaluates the environmental design and construction of buildings and, with 11 per cent of Australia's CBD commercial office buildings Green Star certified, building green is now a business imperative.
Green Star was developed for the property industry in order to:
•Set a standard of measurement for green buildings;
•Promote integrated, whole-building design;
•Recognise environmental leadership;
•Identify building life-cycle impacts; and
•Raise awareness of green building benefits.
