Green Star encourages you to download the Green Star rating tools and use them to guide the design process. Please note that the use of Green Star rating tools without formal certification by the GBCA does not entitle the user or any other party to promote the Green Star rating achieved. No fee is payable to the GBCA for such use, however formal recognition of the Green Star rating - and the right to promote same - requires undertaking the formal certification process offered by the GBCA.

Please direct any queries regarding the rating tools currently under development and stakeholder feedback regarding the existing suite of Green Star rating tools to tool.development@gbca.org.au.

* The Green Building Council of Australia can only provide estimated release dates for v1 rating tools. The release date of a v1 rating tool is dependent on the amount of pilot project feedback received, reconvening Technical Working Groups (TWGs), completion of calculators, the development and printing of Technical Manuals, and is subject to final approval by the GBCA Board of Directors.
