Green Star Buildings, our rating tool for new buildings and major refurbishments, has been especially designed to help you do just that – deliver healthy, resilient, positive buildings that are better for today and tomorrow.
To help you learn more about the rating tool, we’re excited to share a brand-new set of resources. From factsheets for developers, investors, occupiers and leasing agents, to a business case, and a comparison between Design & As Built and Green Star Buildings, these new resources provide a comprehensive overview of Green Star Buildings and how it can help your next project.
Since Green Building Day Melbourne on June 15, we have been busy gathering your feedback on the draft credits for the next version of Green Star Communities. Thank you to those who have submitted feedback, we are excited by the enthusiasm to engage, and contributions people are making.
