Green Building Council South Africa GBCSA

Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) transforms the built environment for people and planet to thrive. The GBCSA leads the transformation of the South African property industry to ensure that buildings are designed, built and operated in an environmentally sustainable way. Buildings are one of the main contributors to climate change, and building green is an opportunity to use resources efficiently and address climate change while creating healthier and more productive environments for people and communities.

We are one of more than 100 members of the World Green Building Council alongside Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. The GBCSA has developed the Green Star SA rating system and is the official certification body for Green Star SA projects. We have also recently launched EDGE, an innovative new residential green building certification programme. For more information please visit www.gbcsa.org.za
