FAQ F-00167
Can a project engage a GSAP and ICA from the same organization?

Yes, a project may engage a Green Star Accredited Professional (GSAP) and Independent Commissioning Agent (ICA) from the same organisation if each role is demonstrated to be performed independent of the other.

 

Recommended Documentation

The below documentation is suggested to demonstrate sufficient independence between the GSAP and ICA:

  • An organisational chart showing all people involved,
  • A role description for each person who contributed to the ICA or GSAP role,
  • The ABNs of any independent contractors involved in the commissioning process, and a clear election of two separate people that can be named as ICA and GSAP who were an integral part in the provision of the relevant services
