Ap Programme

This 3 part programme provides a comprehensive overview of the GBCSA Green Star rating system for Design and As-Built tools for the objective measurement and rating of the environmental performance of the design and construction of new buildings and major refurbishments. It provides insight into all major aspects of environmental sustainability that should be considered in the design and construction of green buildings. The programme consisting of an online course, a live workshop and an online exam, culminates in the Green Star SA Accredited Professional; New Buildings (GS AP New Buildings) accreditation which equips the professional with the knowledge of how to use the Design and As-Built suite of tools for base buildings. The online course gives an in-depth, technical understanding of the tool and the workshop gives a high-level overview and a good sense of the application of the tool. Both of these components can be done as standalone courses and can be completed in an order of preference of the participant. To qualify to write the exam, however, one needs to have completed both the online course and the workshop. Who Should Attend Architects, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers, Contractors, Sustainability Consultants, Property Developers, Students and anyone else involved in the design and construction of the built environment in South Africa and beyond.
