Official accredited green building course to be held in Cape Town
The Green Building Council of South Africa’s (GBCSA’s) signature Green Star SA- accredited professionals course, which introduces the Green Star SA rating tools and is the first requirement for obtaining status as a Green Star SA-accredited professional, is set to take place in Cape Town next month.
The course delivers a comprehensive overview of the Green Star SA building rating system and trains industry professionals on each category and credit within the rating system.
These categories include management, indoor environmental quality, energy, transport, water, materials, land use and ecology, emissions, innovations and integrated design.
The number of certified Green Star SA-rated buildings in South Africa has grown from around ten built between 2007 and 2011, to 28 today, with the number of rated buildings more than doubling in the last year.
“This is an indication that the built environment industry is starting to view green building as best practice,” the GBCSA said in a statement.
An optional exam may be written online following completion of the course, earning the successful candidates the designation of Green Star-SA accredited professional.
The qualification would better position individuals involved in green building certification, the GBCSA said.
The course is of relevance to anyone involved in the building and development sector, such as developers, architects, engineers, property managers, product manufacturers and contractors, as it is becoming increasingly essential to acquire the relevant knowledge and qualifications on green building, rating systems and accreditation, the organisation asserted.
The course is scheduled for Tuesday, February 5, at the Southern Sun in Newlands.
