Australian Building Greenhouse Rating SchemeThe Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) scheme provides accredited assessments of the greenhouse intensity of office buildings by awarding a star rating on a scale of one to five.
A building with a high star rating will be more energy efficient and cheaper to run, and will result in lower greenhouse gas emissions. Three stars represents current market practice. The scheme provides a national approach to benchmarking the greenhouse performance of buildings and tenancies. A higher star rated building is attractive to tenants and investors due to its lower operating costs and its enhanced greenhouse performance. The Australian Building Greenhouse Rating scheme is administered and supported by various government agencies around Australia. State government agencies are responsible for introducing key initiatives to support the ABGR in their jurisdiction.
