What is the difference between a NABERS Energy rating and a Green Star rating?
Briefly, Green Star targets design and construction of new buildings and NABERS rates the operational performance of existing buildings. Green Star is a national, voluntary environmental rating system developed by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) that evaluates the environmental design and construction of buildings. Green Star tools are freely available for self-assessment, but a design, project or building cannot publicly claim or promote a Green Star rating or use the Green Star rating logo unless the GBCA has validated the project’s achievement through formal assessment. The Green Star Certification is a formal process which involves a project using a Green Star rating tool to guide the design or construction process during which a documentation-based submission is collated as proof of this achievement.
