What is Green Star - Office Interiors?
Fri 13 Jun, 2008 (Updated: Tue 4 Nov, 2008)
The Green Star - Office Interiors rating tool is designed for building owners, tenants and interior designers to assess the environmental impact of an interior fitout. Developing a green fitout can address issues such as access to natural light, waste management, energy conservation, and low emission paints.
Project teams are encouraged to use Green Star - Office Interiors for BCA Class 5 tenancy fitouts to incorporate green building practices into a tenancy fitout as early in the design phase as possible.
Seven Materials Calculators have been developed to assess the environmental impacts of fitout items during their manufacture, use and post-use phase. The items are assessed for:
- Eco-preferred content
- Durability
- The product manufacturer's environmental management system
- Commitment to product stewardship and
- Whether the product is modular and/or designed for disassembly.
Emissions of volatile organic compounds from paints, carpets, adhesives and sealants and office fitout items are covered within the Indoor Environment Quality category.
