Green Star - Office Interiors v1.1

The GBCA has recently released a new Green Star – Interiors PILOT rating tool, which has been developed to assess and certify all fitout types. Office fitout teams will still be able to register their projects for certification under Green Star – Office Interiors v1.1 throughout the Green Star - Interiors PILOT phase. Once the PILOT process is complete, the use of the Green Star – Office Interiors v1.1 rating tool will be gradually phased out, with all fitout projects registering and gaining certification under Green Star – Interiors v1. Click here for more information about Green Star – Interiors.
The Green Star - Office Interiors v1.1 rating tool has been designed to help the owners, tenants and interior designers of commercial office building fitouts to gain third-party certification of the sustainable credentials of their projects. Since the release of the rating tool in 2005, more than 100 office fitouts across Australia have achieved Green Star – Office Interiors v1.1 certification.
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.
