GBCSA invites public comment on 'Green Star SA'
|
The Green Building Council SA (GBCSA) has launched their first green building rating tool. The pilot tool can be downloaded and reviewed
|
at www.gbcsa.org.za.
The tool sets standards and benchmarks for green building, and enables an objective assessment as to how "green" a building is. The rating system sets out a "menu" of all the green measures that can be incorporated into a building to make it green.
The rating tool will be released as Version 1 (v1) in November 2008.
GBCSA will also be hosting their first annual convention and exhibition, "Green Cities SA" from 7 to 9 September at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
