GBCA to hold Green Star course for contractors

The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) is holding a course on Tuesday, May 28 for those who work on Green Star Buildings v1 projects.

The session will run over two hours online, covering:

• Which tools offer the most effective approach to gaining Green Star accreditation
• How construction materials must be vetted for compliance against volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde content, as well as the responsible products framework
• Green Star requirements from start to finish
• Hints and tips from past projects and the ways to ensure the best assessment outcomes.
