GBCA recognises Arup as green leader in 2016
07 February 2017
Arup in Australasia worked on more
Green Star certifications than any other consultancy in 2016, with a
total of 11 for the year.
“Arup has worked on an impressive 82 Green Star projects, and the
highly-experienced team has influenced the design and delivery of some
of Australia’s most iconic green building projects. Arup's legacy this
year includes state-of-the-art education facilities at the University of
Melbourne, the restoration of Sydney landmark Shell House and
community-scale projects around the country.”
– Romilly Madew, Chief Executive Officer of the
Green Building Council
of Australia (GBCA)
Amongst these projects is a portfolio of six developments we took
through certification with
Stockland Development Pty Ltd. An Australian
first, all six went through certification at the same time in just six
months.
The GBCA certified 401 Green Star projects in 2016, compared with 223 in
2015 – an 80 per cent increase in certifications.
“We have been privileged to work closely with the GBCA and Green
Star to help influence sustainable building design in Australia over the
last 13 years. We've helped to deliver a number of Green Star 'firsts'
and we will continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in
sustainable design."
– Tim Elgood, Sydney Sustainable Buildings Leader, Arup
