Solatube Daylighting and Green Star®

Solatube Daylighting Systems can help your green building project earn credits towards Green Star certification.

The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) has developed a national environmental rating tool for different phases of the building life-cycle (design, fit-out and operation) and for different building classes:

• Office Interiors
• Retail Centres
• Health
• Education
• Residential
• Industrial

Green Star has built on existing systems and tools in overseas markets, including the British BREEAM system (Building research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) and the North American LEED system (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by establishing individual environmental measurement criteria relevant to the Australian marketplace and environmental context.
Solatube's Daylighting System's have been tested and certified by the NFRC for their high thermal performance and energy efficiency and have obtained ENERGY STAR rating. 

Therefore Solatube Daylighting Devices (TDDs) may contribute to credits in the following areas of Green Star rating::
 

• IEQ - Indoor Environment Quality
• ENE - Energy
• INN - Innovation

Solatube Daylighting Systems have also been awarded the EcoSpecifier Product Assessment Certificate, for inclusion as an Environmentally Sustainable building product. This certificate can be downloaded and reviewed here.
