Green Star Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for Green Star assessment, projects must meet all four provisions of the Green Star Eligibility Criteria detailed below:

1. Space Use
2. Spatial Differentiation
3. Conditional Requirements
4. Timing of Certification

Confirming Eligibility

It is the responsibility of each project team to check the most current Eligibility Criteria on the GBCA website at the time of registration and to ensure that their project(s) is eligible.

Whenever unsure, project teams can request an eligibility ruling from the GBCA by forwarding a brief description of the project as a project eligibility query.

Registration does not guarantee assessment; no project will be assessed if it is deemed ineligible against the Eligibility Criteria current at the time of registration.

The GBCA reserves the right to deny eligibility to assessment of any project that is deemed to compromise the Green Star brand, and to revise these criteria to better achieve the goals of the Green Star rating tools.
