InstructionsIf a project has multiple innovation initiatives applying for Inn-2 please copy and complete the following sheets once for each initiative, changing the initiative number at the top of each sheet.

There should be one summary sheet and one short report per initiative under the Inn-2 Credit. Multiple Inn-2 initiatives can be combined under a single credit cover sheet.

Note: Each individual innovation initiative may achieve a maximum of 2 points for Inn-2. There is no limit on the number of initiatives submitted, although only up to five initiatives can be rewarded for a total of five points. These may all be under one credit (such as Inn-2) or spread among the three credits in the innovation category.

A Green Star Credit Cover sheet must also be completed. Prior to submission all documents must be merged, with the credit cover sheet, into a single PDF document with documents tabbed to facilitate navigation. All PDF pages must be orientated in the same direction and no blank pages should be included.

File sizeSubmissions should not exceed 100MB per credit. Documents should be saved for digital/on-screen use only and not for print/high resolution. Documents for on-screen use should be at 72dpi, with options to compress images enabled. Adobe Acrobat has a tool to compress PDFs called PDF Optimizer

Introduction

In the introduction write the project name, location and the Green Star tool and version being used.

Outline the first innovation initiative submitted for Inn-2. Identify which credit is being exceeded and specify whether it is a solution that results in: the elimination of the specific negative environmental impact of the project targeted by an existing credit; or a substantial (e.g. 5% or greater above ‘neutral’) restorative environmental impact targeted by an existing credit.

An example is provided below:

This report provides the required information to achieve one Inn-2 Exceeding Green Star Benchmarks credits for Milliways, 42 Universe Road, Melbourne, under Green Star Office As-Built v3. The initiative proposed for Inn-2 Exceeding Green Star Benchmarks credits is:

i) Man-7 Exceeding construction waste recycling (100% of construction waste to be recycled, resulting in the elimination of the environmental impact – targeting 1 point)

This report explains outlines how this is achieved and quantifies their environmental benefits using the same metrics as those provided in Green Star.

1. THE NAME OF THE FIRST INITIATIVE GOES HERE1.1 Description of the initiativeProvide a detailed description of the proposed innovation initiative for Inn-2.

If the documented innovation is complex or uncommon, diagrams and an explanation must be provided to assist in the assessment. All relevant elements of drawings are to be highlighted/clouded (especially small items). All drawings should be printed as PDFs to retain detail, especially small stamps, monitors, sensors, submeters etc. For Design projects, drawings must not be in draft form (i.e. preliminary, Green Star Submission Issue, For Information Only etc.). Construction Issue and Tender drawings are acceptable. For As Built projects, drawings must be ‘as built’, or ‘as constructed’.

1.2 Green Star benchmarksIdentify the credit for which the project claims to exceed the Green Star benchmark.

Quantify the margin by which the benchmark is exceeded. Use an approach consistent with that of the credit being exceeded, including the same metrics as those used in Green Star, where possible. For example, if the building significantly increased construction waste recycling the metric would be the percentage of waste by mass, as it is in the Man-7 Waste Management credit.

Reference evidence and calculations, wherever appropriate, to support all claims. Reference can be made to documents in other parts of the submission, such as the Credit submission documents, without the need to duplicate or append the submission documents here.

1.3 Environmental benefitsQuantify the nature and magnitude of the environmental benefits achieved by each proposed innovation initiative.

Distinctly justify the methods used to quantify the environmental benefits achieved by the initiative and explain why exceeding the Green Star benchmark has a positive environmental impact.

The metrics used to demonstrate the environmental benefit should be, where possible, the same as those used in Green Star.

Reference evidence and calculations, wherever appropriate, to support all claims. Note: submissions that are purely qualitative or are unsupported by documented data will not be awarded innovation points.

APPENDIX 1: EVIDENCE OF INNOVATION VIABILITY

Include evidence of innovation viability including any evidence necessary to demonstrate that the benchmarks have been exceeded. Reference can be made to documents in other parts of the submission, such as the Credit submission documents, without the need to duplicate or append the submission documents here.

For As Built submissions, evidence may be in the form of as-built drawings or extract(s) from the Commissioning Report that demonstrate that the initiative operates as intended by the design.
