This module takes an in-depth look at the healthcare-specific areas of the Emissions category. The credits in the Emissions category address the environmental impacts of a building's emissions. The Green Star rating tools target emissions relating to watercourse pollution, light pollution, Legionella, sewage and emissions from refrigerants. Greenhouse gas emissions are addressed in the Energy Category.

Green Star Minor Update

As the GBCA bolsters its commitment to driving sustainable buildings and environments, the organisation has been dedicated to listening to member feedback on our Green Star rating system and wants your feedback on proposed minor updates. What does this mean? The Green Star team has been busy making minor changes to current rating tools.. This includes: - The minimum requirements to achieve 4, 5 and 6 star ratings in ‘Greenhouse Gas Emissions' - Introducing air tightness testing in ‘Commissioning & Tuning' - Emphasising material design and selection in ‘Impacts from Materials: Life Cycle Assessment' Keep up-to-date with the proposed changes and have your say by getting involved and giving us feedback.

Insights into inclusive construction and implementing strategies on site

The new Green Star Buildings Tool aims to tackle inclusivity on construction sites by introducing ratings that are designed to drive diversity, safety and wellbeing. However, wild large companies are making policies to address these issues, it can be difficult to actually implement these changes on site and get buy-in from the wider workforce. This webinar takes a closer look at the guidelines, examining why inclusivity is important, how it can be achieved and - importantly - how we can have these discussions on site.  Join our experts who are leading the conversation in this space, who will share their experience in implementing inclusive construction process and procedures. In this session you'll learn: Why inclusive construction is important Different areas of inclusivity to consider  Practical examples of how inclusive construction can be achieved How to overcome cost barriers to implement change What is "good enough" when it comes to Green Star and inclusive construction Hear from speakers: Joanne Farrell, General Manager (ACT), Kane Constructions & Founder, Build Like A Girl Deejan Ferraro, Manager Future Focus Rating Tools, GBCA
