SUSD0003 Week 6: Ideas for rating system

As before we have agreed on a kind of tool (cheap and easily accessible) to rate housing units in Australia.
Based on the GreenStar Foundation Course we have revised our scope:

Acoustics
Community
Vibration?
Add a frame like NatHERS for thermal comfort
WELS for toilet and other water fixtures (relates to water efficiency?)
Add a rating for modular funiture?

These are additions/fixes from the discussion we had on week 5:



On another note, the Green Star Foundation course is absolutely useful for not only this course but for my High Performance Studio and maybe the Building Services as well. Knowing the reasons and details about a highly-developed rating tool is such an eye opener. It gave me many ideas to improve my projects as well. Regarding the Green Star registration and being a partner, I might consider being one as at the very least I can make my future clients trust me just a little bit more.
