Buildings and the construction industry in Australia have a significant environmental footprint, including waste generation, water consumption, energy usage and greenhouse emissions. Building and construction are responsible for 39% of all carbon emissions in the world. GECA is thrilled to announce Green Star recognition for six new standards, which make it easier for architects and other building professionals to select products and materials that are better for people and planet.

GECA certified products are now available on a new platform that will save architects and other building professionals thousands of hours searching the right products for their projects. The Building Products Information Rating provides information on the compliance, performance, resilience and sustainability of building products and the companies producing them.

GECA is a signatory to the World Green Building Council’s bold new vision for how buildings and infrastructure around the world can achieve 100% net zero emissions buildings by 2050.
