Green Star, founded by the Green Building Council of Australia in 2003, is an internationally recognized rating system that sets the standard for healthy, resilient, and positive buildings and places. It aims to reduce the impact of climate change, enhance health and quality of life, protect the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems, drive resiliency in buildings and communities, and contribute to a sustainable economy. Green Star certification offers a roadmap for reaching social and environmental targets, a pragmatic approach to adopting sustainability practices, long-term economic benefits, and a mechanism to future-proof assets against regulatory and climate change impacts. Green Star certified places enjoy financial and investment benefits, decreased operational costs, lower energy and water usage, and attract tenants who appreciate the commitment to holistic impacts.
