Existing Building Performance - Green Star Accredited Professional Program (GSAP EBP)

Architects, Architectural Technicians, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers, Contractors, Sustainability Consultants, Property Developers, Property Owners,  and anyone else involved in the design and construction of the built environment in South Africa and beyond.

We offer two accreditation types: Green Star Accredited Professional (GSAP) and Green Star Accredited Professional in Practice (GSAP+). The GSAP+ qualification will distinguish you as an industry expert. The GSAP qualification is perfect for those less involved in building certifications but wanting to show their commitment to the sustainable built environment.

Registration as an Accredited Professional is open to all those involved in the design, construction and operation of the built environment in South Africa and beyond with suitable level of knowledge and experience of the field. Candidates will need to demonstrate relevant industry experience or tertiary level qualification in a suitable property industry related field upon request by the GBCSA in order to be recognised as a Green Star New Buildings Accredited Professional upon successful completion of the program.

The program has a blended approach to learning which combines an online course to deepen understanding of the Green Star certification system and green building approach to the operation of existing buildings, followed by a face-to-face interactive one day workshop. The online course must be done before attendance of the face-to-face workshop. This must be completed prior to attempting the corresponding online exam. Upon passing the online exam, suitably qualified candidates will be registered as a Green Star Existing Building Performance Accredited Professional (GSAP EBP) and listed on the GBCSA’s online directory of professionals.
