Green Star FAQs


FAQ F-00368
Is fire protection system test water limited to sprinklers only?

No, the GBCA clarifies that projects targeting Credit 18B.5 Fire Protection System Test Water from Green Star - Design & As Built should include water consumption calculations for each relevant system used during fire protection testing, such as sprinkler, hose reel and hydrant systems.

The intent of the credit is to recognise reduced potable water consumption in major water uses in the building therefore the scope of the credit covers any system that uses water during fire protection testing.
