Green Star - Mixed Use PILOT

The Green Star - Mixed Use PILOT tool assesses the environmental attributes of new and refurbished mixed use buildings with at least 80% of their GFA or NLA comprising any combination of multi unit residential, office and retail centre (BCA Classes 2, 5 and 6). The buildings are assessed against the following eight categories of Green Star - energy, water, emissions, materials, indoor environment quality, land use and ecology, management and transport, plus innovation.

Each eligible building class is assessed separately. This means that in order to get a final rating for the mixed use building development, three separate assessments (one for each building class) are required. Documentation for credits common to all three may be submitted once. The Green Star - Mixed Use PILOT tool brings together the rating results of these separate assessments and calculates a final weighted score for the mixed use development.

The tool has been launched in its PILOT form to allow the industry to carry out trial self-assessments and provide feedback to the GBCA in the following areas:
- Assessment procedure
- Technical considerations
- Project eligibility
- Value of the Green Star - Mixed Use rating tool

The PILOT stage will last 90 days. Certification of projects during this stage is not available and project registrations will be accepted when version 1 of the tool is released.

The Green Star - Mixed Use PILOT rating tool is based on a combination of the following Green Star rating tools:
