Green Star FAQs


FAQ F-00134
Can the GHG credit from Design & As Built v1.3 be used by projects registered under the previous rating tools?

No, Projects registered under the Green Star - Design & As Built  v1, Green Star - Design & As Built  v1.1 or Green Star - Design & As Built  v1.2  cannot target the new credit criterion from Green Star - Design & As Built v1.3.

Where a registered Green Star project is required to be certified under NCC 2019 or would like to target the Greenhouse gas credit from the Green Star - Design & As Built v1.3 rating tool, the applicant must upgrade the registered project from its current version to Green Star - Design & As Built  v1.3. Projects certifying to the 2016 version of NCC Section J are not generally not eligible to use Green Star - Design & As Built  v1.3. For further information on Green Star - Design & As Built v1.3, please refer to the GBCA webinar What's New in Green Star - Design & As Built and Interiors v1.3.
