Green Star - Retail Centre v1

Thu 4 Dec, 2008 Rating Tools

Green Star - Retail Centre v1

The Green Star - Retail Centre v1 rating tool assesses the environmental attributes of new and refurbished retail centres in Australia. It can be applied from the design phase of a project and up to two years from practical completion. The release of the tool represents a milestone in the assessment of environmental attributes of retail centres, and is expected to guide the industry towards more sustainable design practices.

Green Star - Retail Centre v1 replaces the Green Star - Shopping Centre Design PILOT tool. The new tool offers a version that includes revised environmental benchmarks and calculators tailored for the retail centre industry.

Projects that wish to be rated under this tool can now place an order for the Technical Manual. This will provide Compliance Requirements for both Design and As Built certification. Registrations will open shortly.

For note:

The Green Star - Retail Centre v1 Energy Calculator Guide; and the Energy Calculator Benchmark Methodology will be available to download in November 2008.

Projects interested in being certified are encouraged to download the tool and start using it as a guide while the other documentation is made available.
