Re-Certifications
MAN2-T-EBP1-3472
Guidance
26-01-2021
Projects who have achieved a previous EBP rating can target this credit. Please ensure all Technical Manual requirements are adhered to.
It is seen that there is value in rewarding EBP projects that continue their sustainability journey in pursuing further rating as this demonstrates a commitment to continued sustainability performance and therefore the prior EBP rating is a “previous environmental achievement”. It is therefore approved that MAN-2: 1 point can be awarded if the building already had achieved a Green Star EBP certification.
The GBCSA will put a timeline/restriction on allowing this point to be awarded: if the initial/previous project received its initial/previous certification more than 5 years ago, then this point can't be targeted as the value is diluted if too much time has passed and brings into question if that EBP project is demonstrating continued sustainability performance.
All the documentation requirements should be followed as per the Existing Building Performance Technical Manual.
