Registered project teams using the Green Star - Education v1 Energy Calculator Guide are requested to stay in regular contact with their Green Building Council of Australia Case Manager. During the PILOT period for this tool, there were several cases identified where the energy modelling did not recognise important elements of buildings and the Green Building Council of Australia is preparing an alternative modelling methodology to address these issues. If you think that your building might be disadvantaged by the energy modelling method outlined in the Energy Calculator Guide, please contact the project Case Manager for details of the alternatives available.
