GREEN BUILDINGS LITE is designed for building facilitators that want to start addressing Sustainability and Climate Change.
The Green Buildings Lite programme provides an online user friendly Environmental Check Framework of your building. It assesses all Key Environmental Performances Areas within your building to help get you started.
The science behind Green Building Lite's calculations meets international reporting standards (e.g. in Australia, NGERS reporting) for Greenhouse Gas emissions (carbon footprint). By measuring your buildings emissions you will be prepared for mandated carbon reporting.
THE ENVIRO CHECK FRAMEWORK
The Enviro Check Framework will assist you to review your current business and sustainability practices. The Enviro Check will highlight any areas which need to be improved and will provide a simple action plan for areas which need to be addressed together with suggestions on how to do this. Areas covered in the Enviro Check will include the development and implementation of a Sustainability Policy and analysis of strategies to ensure minimal energy and water use and waste production.
You will be able to monitor how your energy and water consumption, and your waste production compares to the Best Practice and Baseline figures for your industry sector. That is, you will be able to report on your performance in comparison to similar operations in your sector. Over time Green Buildings Lite will assist you to track your performance, for example: Reduced energy consumption = Reduced Energy Bill = Increased Profit.
THE RECOGNITION
You will be awarded the Green Buildings Lite Logo when you complete the Enviro Check framework and meet your building categories performance targets.
You are encouraged to display your achievement logo, and promote your actions to your partners, staff and customers so they are aware of the steps you are taking to become a leader in Sustainability and Climate Change.
