DORAH MODISE
CEO OF THE GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL OF SOUTH
AFRICA
“While the private (commercial sector) is in the
lead on green star certified buildings, in recent
years we have seen an exponential growth
in public sector take up. We have certified 13
buildings owned by national, provincial and local
government and state-owned enterprises. What
is more encouraging is that the growth in green
buildings within the public sector is across the
board (i.e. from environment, to economic and
social based Departments)”.
JANET GLENDINNING
DEVELOPMENT MANAGER AT ABLAND
“The location to amenities such as financial and
legal services as well as the convenience of food
outlets plays a significant role in achieving the
Green Star SA rating, as this makes transport
and access to the building more efficient.”
