Green Star FAQs


FAQ F-00122
Can I promote my project if it is registered for Green Star, but not yet certified?

Before achieving certification you can promote your Green Star registered project in writing, but cannot use the Green Star logo or Green Star certification trade mark.

The Green Star certification trade mark can only be used once the project is certified. The Marketing and Style Guide explains how Green Star certified projects can be promoted.

For example: This project is targeting a 5 Star Green Star – Design & As Built v1.2 rating.

If your project changes its targeted Green Star rating, you must immediately notify the GBCA of such a change and take immediate steps to amend any relevant marketing material.

If a project is not registered with GBCA for a Green Star rating it cannot make any statements referring to Green Star.

Any unauthorized use of GBCA’s trade marks may result in legal action.
