Green Star FAQs

Where a credit criterion has a ‘Check in’ submission frequency, project teams are required to confirm annually that no changes have occurred to the building or its management relevant to that criterion that would affect the previously submitted evidence.

This requirement is satisfied by indicating ‘No Change’ in the relevant submission template and scorecard for that credit, accompanied by a brief explanation in the discussion section of the submission template. No additional supporting documentation or formal written declaration from the building owner or facility manager is required, provided the submission template clearly identifies the credit criterion and confirms that no change has occurred.

A ‘Check in’ declaration will only require a full resubmission of evidence where:

• A change has occurred to the building or its management that affects the relevance or validity of the previously submitted evidence; or
• The maximum validity period for that credit criterion has been reached

For more information on resubmission requirements, please refer to Appendix A of the Guidance on Submitting document.
