Stakeholder Feedback Process
The Green Star rating system aims to reflect 'best practice' through continuous review and evaluation against Australian and international initiatives, scientific development, international rating tool improvements and climatic, ecological, regulatory and commercial environments. If your experience with Green Star indicates that a credit can be improved, please provide your advice and input during the stakeholder feedback period.
There are three main steps to providing feedback:
1. Firstly please check the Technical Clarifications & CIR Rulings section of the website to make sure your topic has not already been addressed. Sometimes issues with tools have already been clarified and this is where the Green Star team list any adjustments or clarifications.
2. Please check the previously issued Stakeholder Feedback Reports to ensure your topic has not already been addressed. Sometimes other contributors have already identified an issue and so once a point of clarity has been made - it does not need to be made again. All aspects of feedback are addressed and needs only to be raised once.
3. If your issue has not been addressed in either of the above sections, please submit feedback using the Form available at this link:
The Green Building Council publishes responses via a stakeholder feedback report which will be available online once published. Your feedback is vital to ensure that future Green Star tool development and technical manuals reflect your experience.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your valuable input and comment.
Green Star Review Committee
The Green Star Review Committee is an extension of the regular stakeholder feedback process. The Green Star Review Committee considers and responds to stakeholder concerns regarding the development or operation of the Green Star rating system. Review the report of the Green Star Review Committee meetings held in December 2010.
We're keen to hear your feedback on Green Star.
The Green Star Review Committee canvassed your feedback in 2010 - its recommendations formed the foundations of Green Star Revolution.
Our ground-breaking plan for Green Star will:
- simplify and streamline Green Star certification;
- ensure greater consistency, transparency and rigour; and,
- deliver the next generation of Green Star rating tools.
Now, we seek your critical views again.
Your feedback on the development and operation of Green Star will be reviewed by the Green Star Review Committee in December.
If you would like to make a submission or meet with the Green Star Review Committee, please email greenstar@gbca.org.au with "Green Star Review Committee" in the subject line.
Submissions close Friday 21 October 2011.
