Green Star FAQs
Can Class 3 buildings provide energy metering on a floor-by-floor basis?
Yes, for the purposes of the 'Metering' credit criteria in Green Star - Design & As-Built and the 'Verification and Handover' credit in Green Star - Buildings v1, for a Class 3 project, floor-by-floor energy metering will suffice to meet the requirements of the credit, where the entire floor has a single-use and the project is operated and managed by a single operator.
Where a floor has different uses, i.e. accommodation rooms, common areas, study rooms, lounge area, etc - the different uses must be metered independently on each floor for comparison at a suitable level of detail, that is of value to the operator of the project.
Please refer to the relevant Submission Guidelines to ensure all other compliance and documentation requirements are met.
