The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), the nation’s premier green building certification authority, and Measurabl, a sustainability data platform for real estate, announced a strategic partnership to integrate Green Star certification data into Measurabl’s data product suite.
This collaboration integrates Green Star, Australia’s equivalent to the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED certification, into Measurabl’s global dataset. Already spanning 22 billion square feet across 120,000-plus buildings representing more than $3 trillion AUM (USD), Measurabl provides visibility into assets that hold Green Star certifications, strengthening transparency and comparability for global investors and lenders. Green Star assesses sustainability across design, construction and operations, including indoor air quality, energy efficiency, water use and material selection. \
Measurabl’s certification partnerships now span LEED (U.S.), BREEAM (U.K.), CASBEE (Japan) and now Green Star (Australia), which has certified more than 64 million square metres (689 million square feet) of buildings to date. By uniting these standards on one platform, Measurabl delivers global certification coverage. Investors gain a more accurate, comparable view of sustainability performance, while Measurabl advances its mission to establish a standardized, investor-grade sustainability data infrastructure for global real estate.
“With Green Star now part of our dataset, Measurabl can deliver consistent benchmarking across geographies — connecting local certifications to global sustainability goals and capital flows,” said Maureen Waters, president of Measurabl. “This partnership accelerates our mission to modernize the world’s sustainability data infrastructure and establish a globally standardized, investor-grade foundation that underpins every real estate transaction — from appraisals and valuations to lending, leasing, insuring, acquisitions, and securitization.”
In 2024, Green Star recorded its largest growth to date, with nearly 1,100 new certifications. Today, 3.4 million Australians will shop in Green Star–certified shopping centres and one-third of all CBD office buildings are rated under Green Star Performance. Notable Green Star projects include the Sydney Swans Headquarters, STARS Hospital in Brisbane, and Eumemmerring Business Park.
“This announcement comes as Australia raises its climate ambition with new emissions 2035 targets and a major investment in decarbonisation,” said Jorge Chapa, chief impact officer, GBCA. “Buildings will be central to delivering on these commitments. By making Green Star visible on a global platform like Measurabl, we’re helping investors connect climate goals with real assets, showing that sustainable buildings are not just critical for resilience, but also for affordability and long-term value.”
