At the latest ASBEC meeting the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) spoke about its important new discussion paper, Building with Nature: A Strategy for Green Star. This forward-looking document outlines how the Green Star rating system will evolve to better recognise and promote biodiversity, nature-positive design, and ecosystem resilience across the built environment.
As the strategy takes shape, GBCA is seeking feedback from industry professionals—this is a key opportunity for CIBSE members to help shape the future of sustainable building in Australia.
CIBSE strongly supports this direction and encourages all members to review the Building with Nature strategy and provide feedback. Your insights as building services professionals are crucial in ensuring that future Green Star tools reflect the technical and operational realities of sustainable design.
