0169 Green star – office as built submissions
Emi-4: Document thermal insulation that is free of ozone-depleting substances in both manufacture
and composition.
0712 Water heating boilers
Requirement: GBCA document:
- Ene-1 Greenhouse gas emissions.
Ene-1: Document systems that contribute to reducing the building’s greenhouse gas emissions to
levels below the Conditional Requirement.
0713 Cooling towers
Requirement: GBCA document:
- IEQ-12 Internal noise levels.
- Ene-1 Greenhouse gas emissions.
- Wat-4 Heat rejection water.
IEQ-12: Document upper limits of noise caused by cooling towers in the Cooling tower schedule.
Ene-1: Document systems that contribute to reducing the building’s greenhouse gas emissions to
levels below the Conditional Requirement.
Wat-4: Document non water-based heat rejection systems or measures to reduce potable water use
by cooling towers.
0714 Mechanical pumps
Requirement: GBCA document:
- IEQ-12 Internal noise levels.
- Ene-1 Greenhouse gas emissions.
IEQ-12: Document upper limits of noise caused by pumps in the Pump schedule.
Ene-1: Document systems that contribute to reducing the building’s greenhouse gas emissions to
levels below the Conditional Requirement.
0715 Tanks and vessels
Requirement: GBCA document:
- Ene-1 Greenhouse gas emissions.
Ene-1: Document systems that contribute to reducing the building’s greenhouse gas emissions to
levels below the Conditional Requirement.
0721 Packaged airconditioning
Requirement: GBCA document:
- IEQ-12 Internal noise levels.
- Ene-1 Greenhouse gas emissions.
- Emi-1 Refrigerant ODP.
- Emi-2 Refrigerant GWP.
- Emi-4 Insulant ODP.
- Emi-8 Legionella.
IEQ-12: Document upper limits of noise caused by airconditioning units in Air cooled packaged
equipment schedule and DX computer room airconditioning unit schedule.
Ene-1: Document systems that contribute to reducing the building’s greenhouse gas emissions to
levels below the Conditional Requirement.
Emi-1: Document the use of refrigerants with zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP).
Emi-2: Document the use of refrigerants with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 10 or less. These
are essentially the ‘natural’ refrigerants, including ethane, ammonia and carbon dioxide. As they are
less safe than synthetic refrigerants, caution is indicated.
Emi-3: : Document sensors for detecting refrigerant leaks.
Emi-4: Document thermal insulation that is free of ozone-depleting substances in both manufacture
and composition.
Emi-8: Document non water-based heat rejection systems.
