Green Star FAQs


FAQ F-00025
Can my product be Green Star certified?

No. The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) is the nation’s authority on sustainable buildings, communities and cities. We rate the sustainability of buildings and communities through Australia’s only national, voluntary, holistic rating system – Green Star. The GBCA does not rate products. 

However, for the purpose of targeting certain credits, we recognise products that are certified under the GBCA's Recognised Product Certification Scheme. The products certified by the organisations recognised in this list may help projects achieve Green Star credits. For details on how the products contribute to Green Star, refer to the link above. For information on how to get your product certified under one of these schemes we encourage you to contact the providers directly.
