The GBCA can work with the applicant to develop a project case study and will assist with promotion of the project's achievements through events, site tours, media campaign, guest speaker engagements and press coverage.

There are options available in the unlikely event that your project does not obtain your desired Green Star certified rating.
All Green Star certified ratings are valid for a restricted period, except As Built certified ratings which do not expire. When a project's rating expires, the applicant is able to reregister to recertify the project, with the exception of Design Review certified ratings.
