New Zealand Green systems and resources - Green Star NZ

The first Green Star NZ rating tool was launched in new Zealand in 2006 with Green Star NZ - Office Design.

Member NZGBC - New Zealand Green Building Council

As of October 2019 the following tools are available for rating buildings:

Green Star (Commercial)

Homestar (Residential)

Other

Green Star

Green Star NZ is New Zealand's first comprehensive environmental rating system for buildings. Green Star NZ does not approve products. To earn Green Star NZ points, the project specifier must show documentation proving that the specific product/method etc meets the Green Star NZ specifications. If the product/service meets the Green Star NZ specifications and compliance criteria the points are awarded.

Green Star

Selected Resene products may be used to achieve Green Star NZ rating points.

The Green Star NZ programme in a paint context is focused mainly on VOCs and independent verification, such as Environmental Choice NZ.
