After research and industry consultation, the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) has developed two revised credits: Stormwater and Commuting Mass Transport.
The revised credits have been included in the Green Star - Industrial v1 tool, which was released in May this year.
The GBCA is currently seeking feedback from the industry to determine whether these credits should be integrated into other Green Star tools.
It is proposed the revised credits are included in the following tools: Office v3; Office Interiors v1.1; Retail Centre v1; Multi Unit Residential v1; Healthcare v1; Education v1.
Current projects registered under the above tools would be able to use the old or the revised credits. Any project registered after the revised credits are released would be required to use the revised credits.
It is proposed that the revised credits will not be integrated into the Green Star Office v2 rating tool, as all office projects must now register under the Green Star Office v3 rating tool.
Comments can be sent to [email protected].
The stakeholder comment period will be open until July 31, 2010.
