Green Star FAQs

Documentation Requirements:

• A copy of this response.
• A short report describing (at a minimum):
• the number of CLP achieved per evaluation criteria. The 4 evaluation criteria are: 
  • Funding
  • Procurement
  • Awareness-raising
  • Alternative: Minimum public art requirement
• how the project has achieved the CLPs claimed for the above categories. This includes a description of the artwork, and the initiatives undertaken and implemented.
• Supporting documentation to evidence the claims above. This could include, but is not limited to:
  • media announcements
  • artist statements
  • individual CVs
  • tour itineraries
  • exhibition or tour booklets

The GBCA provides the following interpretation of the requirements of the DGNB evaluation criteria to aid the project team and assessor(s):

• Procurement
  • "Art expert" is interpreted to mean an individual suitably qualified and experienced to provide art critique.
  • "cooperation" is interpreted to mean meetings and/or workshops.
  • "art competition" is interpreted to mean a public competition process in line with local, state or national competition guidelines.
  • "appropriate selection process" is interpreted to mean with a panel of judges
  • "Young artist" is interpreted to mean an individual under the age of 35.
• Awareness-raising
  • "publications" may be interpreted as online or print media
  • "labelling" must be a physical plaque or similar on-site label. 

For design assessment, if evidence of implementation is not available, commitment-style documentation may be more appropriate provided it sufficiently details how the CLP will be achieved.
