Green Star

Green Star is a suite of environmental ratings tools developed by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA). These tools holistically assess the environmental potential of a building across a range of categories such as energy, water, indoor environmental quality, transport and management and award a star rating accordingly.

 Whether you require formal Green Star certification, or environmental bench marking EES can provide:

  • Early planning advice

  • Stage-by-stage assessment

  • Building simulation for credits requiring simulation

  • Tailored advice for individual credits where needed

  • Formal certification submission


BEEC

The Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) Program requires most sellers and lessors of office space of 1000 square metres or more to have an up-to-date Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC).

A BEEC sets out the energy efficiency rating of a building or area of a building that is offered for sale, lease or sublease and consists of a NABERS Energy for office rating, a CBD Tenancy Lighting Assessment (TLA).


NABERS

NABERS uses different rating tools to understand how a building is performing in Energy (with or without Greenpower), Carbon Neutral, Waste, Water and Indoor Environment Quality.

NABERS compares the performance of a building to benchmarks that represent the performance of other similar buildings in the same location using 12 months worth of real data gathered from energy and water consumption data, waste data and IEQ measurements and surveys acquired on site.

EES can assist in estimating ratings as well as providing official NABERS ratings for offices, hotels and shopping centres for Energy, Water , IEQ and Waste ratings.


NABERS Committment agreement

NABERS Energy Commitment Agreements allow developers and building owners to promote and market excellent greenhouse performance of new and refurbished commercial office buildings from the outset.

The Commitment Agreement outlines a project’s commitment to design, build and commission the building to a pre defined star level.

Energy efficiency which is considered from the start of a project reduces base building energy costs for the life of a building.
