On average, Green Star As Built certified buildings recycled 96% of their construction and demolition waste.
Since Green Star’s introduction to the market in 2003, more than 5.5 million square metres of building area have been Green Star certified.
Green Star certified buildings save the equivalent of 76,000 average households’ electricity use annually. 37,600 truckloads of construction and demolition waste has been diverted from landfill due to good waste management practices when constructing Green Star certified buildings.
The higher the Green Star certified rating of a building (4, 5 or 6 star) the greater the environmental savings across all key areas – greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water consumption, and construction and demolition waste.
