The Innovation category also encourages the efforts which demonstrate that sustainable development principles have been incorporated to the wider process of design, construction and performance of buildings, as well as any positive environmental influence brought to bear on the wider geographic area in which the project is located. These efforts are recognised over and above any credit obtained in other categories.Innovation points are awarded at the discretion of the Green Building Council South Africa. Any single initiative will only be awarded to ten projects under the same rating tool before no longer being considered ‘innovative’ and rewarded within this category.
The Innovation registers of innovation points awarded have been drawn up by the Green Building Council South Africa (GBSCA) and are intended for use by project teams, contractors and interested parties for information purposes only. Please note that the initiatives listed in the registers have been awarded innovation points based on the specific circumstances on each project, as well as the manner that these circumstances have been presented to the GBCSA for assessment. The GBCSA in no way guarantees that where initiatives have been awarded in the past, these will be awarded again for future projects. Each innovation submission is reviewed in the context of the specific project and documentation submitted.
