The GreenHouse
The GreenHouse, Green Building Council of Australia's Head Office, achieved a 5 Star Green Star - Office Interiors v1.1 certified rating in July 2009.
The fitout took less than five months to complete and was delivered on a budget of just over $1.3 million - demonstrating that even small and fast fitouts can achieve high environmental standards and a happy, healthy working environment for employees.
The 804m2 space was chosen for its potential as a showcase for sustainable building initiatives, and to support GBCA's rapidly expanding team and dynamic culture.
In November 2009, The GreenHouse achieved a 5 Star NABERS Energy rating, proving that good design really can achieve good performance outcomes.
Member Organisation Support
The Green Building Council of Australia would like to thank the generosity of the 35 member organisations who supported the project.
