Green Star is the most comprehensive Green Building Sustainability Scheme currently in effect in Australia. It is a voluntarily comparative national environmental rating scheme for buildings and the Green Star tools which have been developed by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) are being used to give a comparative rating to a building by measuring the building's environmental impact.

Green Star covers many classes of buildings and ongoing progress and research is practiced to update these tools and the Credits in each tool to make it a good indicator of a building's impact on the environment.

Currently the following Green Star tools are being developed and can be used to rate a building:

Office Design
Office As Built
Office Interiors
Multi Unit Residential
Retail Centre
Health Care
Education Design
Education As Built

There are more Green Star tools in the Pilot Stage that will join this list in near future. The following list shows these rating tools.

Industrial
Mixed Use
Office Existing Building
Convention Centre Design

According to Green Building Council of Australia, more than 11 Percent of Office Space in Australian CBD areas are now certified. This shows the industry's interest in the scheme which will turn scheme into a very necessary practice in the future of Green Building industry.

There are immediate and ongoing benefits associated with a Green Star certificate issued for a building. You can read a descriptive list of the perceivable benefits by visiting Green Star Benefits.

Green Star is a point based rating tool which includes Green Building initiatives and technological advances for sustainability practice.
