The shop

Submissions Guidelines for all Green Star rating tools are available here. This includes tools and versions which are not current, but may still be required for reference purposes. The Submission guidelines contain the requirements and benchmarks (credits) that a project must comply with to achieve a Green Star rating.

The products listed below with a blue icon represent the Legacy versions of our rating tools and the products with a dark green icon represent the Future Focus versions of our rating tools. Despite the colour, all are available to help you on your certification journey.

Purchasing the guidelines gives you access to a PDF document and gives your organisation license to use each submission guideline for up to 5 users. Organisations that require a license for more than 5 users should contact the GBCA.

Accessing the guidelines

If you are not with a GBCA member organisation, you need to purchase the guidelines. Log into your GBCA account to do so, and once complete, the PDF file will become available in the ‘Submission guidelines downloads’ section of your portal.

Submission guidelines are free for GBCA members and can be downloaded from the Green Star portal.
