Meeting with Green Star Council

I have been able to set up a meeting with the Western Australia representative for the Green Star Council.

They are the people that 'Award' projects based on there compliance with the Green star Rating tools.

The tools are quite complex and the amount of Information available on the web site is really just overwhelming so I’m hoping that a face to face chat about the systems and my project will cut down a lot of research time.

Correspondence is below ...

Good afternoon Nadji,

I am a fifth year architecture student at the UWA and I am currently researching the impact and benefits of the Green Building Council, and particularly its rating tools.

I am wondering if I am able to meet with you or discuss my topic and to gain some information regarding the tools, how they work and the process behind them.

We have only been given a very short time frame to produce our research, ten days, and so any time or information that you are able to give me will be greatly appreciated.

I will be able to clarify more the topics I am looking into when we talk again but I thought that it would be best to simply get in contact first.


Thank you,

Michael Thorley

Hi again Nadja,

Thanks for the quick response. I have spent some time on your website but due to the depth of information think it would be also great to sit down for a chat.

At this point in time, Thursday at 3:30 in the city is excellent, but I will have to check with one of my lectures there may be a clash for me.

This said, I am 90% sure that I will be able to come in and I will send you an email first thing tomorrow morning to re-confirm.

Its great that you are able to give me some of your time, and I’ll talk to you again tomorrow.

Thanks
