Eco Friendly STAR is an entry-level environmental management and accreditation program that has been developed in collaboration with expert consultants and practitioners from EarthCheck. It is an additional endorsement of your property and separate to your official STAR Rating.
Eco-Friendly STAR is a self assessment program that includes a desktop and property audit. Upon successful completion of the desk-top audit, your property will be awarded Eco-Friendly STAR Accreditation and you will receive your marketing pack, including your window sticker, certificate and tips on how to promote your property. An Assessor will then conduct an Eco Friendly STAR property audit at the time of your next STAR Rating assessment.
