NABERS Ratings

NABERS is a national rating system that measures a building’s energy, water, waste, and indoor environment performance, and assigns it a rating of 1–6 stars. Note that ratings are valid for 12 months, encompassing approximately 40 % of global carbon emissions, and energy usage primarily comes from commercial buildings. A NABERS rating helps building owners measure, understand, and communicate their building’s environmental performance and identify areas for cost savings. It allows owners to benchmark performance, validate sustainability data, track improvements, and gain a competitive edge.
