The NABERS approach to rating the environmental performance of buildings is world leading and unique. It takes real, measured impacts and communicates these in a clear and simple way.
Through NABERS, the Australian property industry has a credible standard to confidently communicate results, and to judge environmental initiatives by their actual results in star ratings. NABERS ratings are used throughout the property sector to drive deep cuts in environmental impacts, and evaluate the real results of initiatives. NABERS star ratings are now common language.
This deep knowledge of building performance and potential for improvement has transformed the Australian property industry, which is now acknowledged as an international leader in the greening of buildings. It has led to a real, measured and significant reduction in environmental impact.
Each of the NABERS tools has been developed to:
- provide a credible and independent market-based benchmark
- communicate environmental performance through a simple star rating
- drive best practice through setting stretch targets meet the needs of industry, and
- achieve real positive environmental outcomes.
