A new partnership between the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and the US-based Green Building Information Gateway (GBIG) will showcase Australia’s flourishing green building capabilities to global investors and decision-makers.
GBIG is an online platform featuring data and case studies on green building projects, portfolios, people and places from around the world.
GBIG currently includes 1.3 million activities representing more than 200 types of certifications, awards, case studies and disclosures in over 5,000 geographic locations.
Professionals can use this information to understand markets and drive projects toward higher levels of achievement and performance. GBIG complements the GBCA’s Green Star project directory.
GBCA CEO, Romilly Madew, said in the era of 'big data' building owners and managers have more information at their fingertips than ever before.
"GBIG brings all that information together in one database, and now includes Green Star-certified projects. This will make it easier for international investors to gain data, analysis and insights about high-performing green buildings in Australia,” Madew said.
GBIG director, Chris Pyke, said access to GBIG will give GBCA members new tools to raise the profile of their work and stay up-to-
date on green building trends.
While the database is freely available, GBCA members will have special access to additional features, such as regular updates on new certifications, awards, case studies, disclosures, and other green building activities.
