The Existing Building Performance (EBP) Rating Tool covers the same environmental categories addressed in the Green Star New Building Rating Tools but the focus is on making the operations and management of the building efficient in order to maintain optimal performance.
This tool is designed for optimising the operational performance rating tool. The rating is valid for a period of 3 years in order to ensure the building is continually well operated and maintained. The ratings given for this tool are from 1 to 6 stars.
Items such as energy and water monitoring, management policies and plans – Net zero and Edge? are required in order to achieve the rating. The tool also addresses the relationship between landlord and tenants, setting up a win-win situation with the (title case)green lease toolkit.
EBP performance results are very good, you will be eligible to apply for net zero and or edge. This can up your certification by a possible 2 stars!
