The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and the
International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™) have agreed
to work collaboratively to promote health and well-being
in the design, construction and operations of buildings,
fitouts and communities in Australia. The two organisations
announced the new partnership at the Green Cities 2016
conference in Sydney, after signing a memorandum of
understanding which outlines their commitment to work
towards common goals. The organisations will now work
together to identify opportunities to align the two rating
systems, develop events and education offerings, and
promote building practices that improve the health and well-
being of occupants. Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI),
which provides third-party certification for the WELL Building
Standard, will also support efforts to promote and deliver
WELL across Australia.
Partnering for health and well-being
About Green Star
Launched by the GBCA in 2003, Green Star is an
internationally-recognised sustainability rating system that
sets best practice benchmarks for the design, construction
and operation of buildings, fitouts and communities.
A trusted mark of quality, Green Star has transformed
Australia’s built environment. More than 1,300 projects –
the equivalent to 21 million square metres of space – have
achieved Green Star ratings, delivering environmental
efficiencies while boosting the productivity, health and
wellbeing of occupants.
3
The Green Star rating system features four rating tools:
• Green Star – Design & As Built for building design
and construction
• Green Star – Interiors for fitout design and construction
• Green Star – Performance for building operations
and maintenance
• Green Star – Communities for precinct planning
and development
Green Star-rated buildings and fitouts are assessed against
nine impact categories:
• Management
• Indoor Environment Quality
• Energy
• Transport
• Water
• Materials
• Land Use & Ecology
• Emissions
• Innovation
The GBCA understands that sustainable building not only
addresses environmental impact, but social and economic
impact too. Green Star can help building owners and
managers to costs, boost productivity, enhance their
brands and demonstrate their long-term commitment
to their greatest asset – their people.

The WELL Building Standard™ (WELL) is the first building
standard to focus exclusively on the health and wellness
of the people in buildings. WELL is a performance-based
system for measuring and certifying features of the built
environment that impact human health and well-being,
through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and
mind. It marries best practices in design and construction
with evidence-based medical and scientific research –
harnessing the built environment as a vehicle to support
human health and well-being.
WELL is grounded in a body of research that explores the
connection between the buildings where we spend more than
90 percent of our time, and the health and wellness impacts
on us as occupants. WELL Certified™ spaces can help create
a built environment that improves the nutrition, fitness, mood,
sleep patterns and performance of its occupants.
WELL sets performance requirements in seven categories,
or concepts, relevant to occupant health and well-being in
the built environment: air, water, nourishment, light, fitness,
comfort and mind. Each WELL feature is designed to address
issues that impact the health, comfort or knowledge of
occupants through design, operations and behavior.
The WELL Building Standard can be applied across many
real estate sectors; it is currently optimised for commercial
and institutional office buildings. WELL is further organised
into project typologies of New and Existing Buildings, New
and Existing Interiors and Core and Shell, which take into
account the specific set of considerations that are unique to
a particular building type. Pilot programs are now available
for new market sectors including retail, multifamily residential,
education, restaurant and commercial kitchen projects.
About the WELL Building Standard TM
5
Both IWBI and GBCA recognise and value the
complementary nature of a holistic environmental and social
outcomes at a building level, and to specifically address
health and well-being at a personal, and corporate level.
This document provides assistance for those seeking to
obtain both a certified Green Star rating and a
WELL Certified™ rating.
To simplify the process for projects pursuing both programs,
GBCA and IWBI have developed the following guidance to
show how Green Star can assist in meeting WELL, and to
show how WELL is recognised in Green Star. As there is an
element of performance verification in some WELL features,
GBCA can’t guarantee that Green Star credits will result
in full compliance with WELL. In some other cases, due to
the use of American standards, some WELL features would
fall short of meeting Green Star requirements. However,
it’s likely that specific design and construction features
promoted by Green Star will help in achieving WELL
certification and vice versa.
Currently, this document provides guidance specific
to new buildings or new fitouts being rated under
Green Star – Design & As Built or Green Star – Interiors.
Future versions of this document will include guidance
specific to buildings in operation being rated under
Green Star – Performance. Any current references to
Green Star – Performance and Green Star – Communities
are clearly noted.
Purpose of this document
6
How to read this document
This analysis was based on Green Star – Design & As Built
v1.1, Green Star – Interiors v1.1, Green Star – Performance v1
and the WELL Building Standard v1.
This document maps out Green Star credits and criteria
which may contribute to achieving WELL features. It also
does the reverse, showing which WELL features may
contribute to achieving Green Star credits and criteria.
IWBI has evaluated this mapping and provided rulings of
equivalency for entire features or parts that are satisfied
by the Green Star credits identified. GBCA has provided
guidance to recognise certain features of WELL in Green Star
credits, and to provide guidance on the use of WELL features
as innovation credits.
When the level of fulfilment is considered equivalent, it
indicates that a feature or credit has been evaluated and
deemed satisfactory to achieve the intent of the WELL
feature or Green Star credit indicated. The awarded
feature or credit can be used as verification the issue has
been satisfied.
The document outlines a level of fulfilment for each credit
and feature in Green Star and WELL. A level of fulfilment is
assigned as:
Equivalent Partial Aligned Not Addressed
7
• When the level of fulfilment is considered equivalent, it
indicates that a feature or credit has been evaluated and
deemed satisfactory to achieve the intent of the WELL
feature or Green Star credit indicated. The awarded
feature or credit can be used as verification the issue has
been satisfied.
• When the level of fulfilment is considered partial,
it indicates the credit or feature is partly met. For example,
a WELL part requirement may be met, but the additional
parts not satisfied by Green Star will need to follow WELL
requirements. The awarded Green Star credit can be used
as verification for the part(s) that have been satisfied. This
may also occur in the reverse.
• When the level of fulfilment is considered aligned, it
indicates that the credit or feature is aligned, but the
issue is not addressed fully. This may mean that the
credit or feature is a good stepping stone for meeting the
requirements, but more work may be needed.
• Finally, where both the feature and credit are marked as
not addressed, this means that the outcome in either
credit is not addressed as part of either rating tool, though
they may be recognised through either Green Star or
WELL’s innovation systems.
8
IWBI and GBCA have agreed upon the equivalent outcomes
identified in this document. The tables on the following
pages detail Green Star credits deemed equivalent to WELL
features, and vice versa. Please note that there are different
levels of equivalency defined under the ‘How to read this
document’ section.
In order to streamline the certification process, reduced
documentation may be submitted where outcomes have
already been verified in the alternate rating program. Project
teams are required to demonstrate that outcomes being applied
have been verified with appropriate supporting evidence.
Claiming Green Star outcomes in WELL Building Standard TM
Where a project has achieved or is pursuing a Green Star
certified rating and seeks to apply these efforts to achieve a
WELL feature, the project should submit the following during
WELL documentation review:
• Short report identifying which Green Star credits are
being used to claim WELL features, in line with the
guidance provided in this document; and
• Supporting evidence for each WELL feature or part
utilising Green Star equivalency
- If not yet awarded, use the ascribed WELL
verification method to reference Green Star criteria.
- If already awarded, proof of awarded Green Star
credit(s) can be submitted in lieu of the ascribed
WELL verification method.
How to apply equivalent outcomes to your project
9
Claiming WELL Building Standard TM outcomes in Green Star
Where a project has achieved a WELL Certified TM
rating and seeks to apply these outcomes to achieve a
Green Star rating, approval needs to be granted by GBCA.
Please submit a Credit Interpretation Request (CIR) to GBCA
which includes the following:
• Short report identifying which WELL features are being
used to claim Green Star credits, in line with the guidance
provided in this document; and
• Supporting evidence that all relevant WELL features have
been achieved.
The CIR response will provide any further guidance required
for the project’s Green Star submission.

Due to the scope of both rating tools, there’s opportunity
to claim achievements of specific features from WELL as
Green Star credits. However, as there is duplication of
outcomes in the WELL standard, it’s unlikely that an individual
feature in WELL will be awarded Innovation points; rather, a
number of WELL feature groupings will.
In other cases, WELL features fall outside the scope of
Green Star – Design & As Built, or Green Star – Interiors, and
will not be considered for Innovation points as they may, for
example, be company-wide policies that are not relevant to
the built environment.
The following features have been pre-approved as potential
Innovation claims. Each row must be fully met in order to
achieve an Innovation point.
