SA’s first green building rating tool launched in Cape TownSouth Africa’s first voluntary green building rating tool, the Green Star SA – Office version one, was officially launched by the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) in Cape Town on Monday.

Addressing delegates at the first annual GBCSA convention and exhibition in Cape Town, GBCSA executive chairperson Bruce Kerswill explained that the new Green Star SA rating tool aimed to assess the environmental attributes of new commercial office buildings as well as major base building refurbishments of existing office facilities across South Africa.

The tool was designed to be used by building owners, developers, and consultants to influence the design of office facilities. Essentially, the tool enabled these stakeholders to minimise the environmental impacts on their developments and to capitalise on, and receive recognition for, their design initiatives.
