What is NABERS?
The National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) is a national rating system that measures the environmental performance of Australian buildings, tenancies and homes. Put simply, NABERS measures the energy efficiency, water usage, waste management and indoor environment quality of a building or tenancy and its impact on the environment. With the NABERS rating system, owners and managers get important insights into how well specific locations, setups and structures perform and what to expect in a given situation.

The comprehensive and up to date NABERS
rating system is used for:

NABERS reviews cover
the following areas:

How We Manage NABERS:
We monitor and manage your building to preserve your NABERS accreditation and rating. Your rating will ensure your structure remains in compliance and that you are making the most of your assets and expenditures. As part of an extensive NABERS service, BBM's NABERS assessors will benchmark your initial rating and ensure the responsibilities for either:
- A Base Building
- Tenancy
- A Whole Building
Each month, BBM evaluates all NABERS criteria and manages each element to protect your rating and ensure you are in the correct target zone.
NABERS Criteria to Monitor:
Each month, we monitor the following information for each property or unit we work with:
Building Information: Details about your location, including the size, number of people living there and even the number of computers in use when the structure is occupied. We monitor:
- Area
- Occupancy > 20% (hours per week)
- Number of Occupants
- Number of computers switched on when occupied
How much energy is consumed by your facility or structure and what percentage of your consumption is Green Power? We monitor all the following points to ensure benchmarks are met every month:}
- Electricity
a. Consumption – kWh
b. Percentage of Green Power
c. This will calculate kg – CO2 - Natural Gas
a. Consumption – MJ
b. This will calculate kg – CO2 - Diesel
a. Consumption – L
b. This will calculate kg – CO2 - Coal
a. Consumption – Tonnes
b. This will calculate kg – CO2
How much water does your facility or structure use? This metric includes a review of the amount of Kilolitres consumed and the sources that water comes from.
- Consumption of Town Water – Kl
- Consumption of Recycled Water – Kl
Not included – Rainwater/ Greywater
Waste production, including garbage (non-recyclable), recycling streams and other lines are audited and monitored to meet NABERS strict guidelines and regulation. Waste services and monitoring includes:
- 10day waste audit (as per NABERS Waste Data Collection Guidance Documents) covering consumption as follows:
a. Waste Consumption in kg
-
- Garbage stream (assumes non-recyclable/re-use characteristic)
-
Plastics
-
Specialised recycling stream
-
Organics recycling stream
-
Re-use & Re-manufacturing stream
b. % of recycled material
From indoor air quality to the acoustics and even the task and work lighting in your facility, NABERS has specific benchmarks and guidelines. The following services and features should be monitored and maintained for best results:
- Thermal services
- Acoustic Levels
- Air Quality
- Maintenance/ Cleaning (filters)
- Lighting – glare and reflectivity

Get Help with NABERS
Our proprietary systems monitor all aspects of the NABERS criteria in real time. By incorporating automation and centralising all information, we can make your NABERS rating is available to you at a moment’s notice. While some aspects, including staff numbers and related details need to be calculated manually, most ratings are available in real time, so you can always see where you stand.
Managing NABERS during DLP:
As NABERS continues to evolve, we ensure you are kept up to date on the latest requirements and processes. Some builders are now being asked to maintain a NABERS rating throughout the Defects Liability Period (DLP). Once this change was made, we incorporated it into our existing auditing and monitoring systems and can instantly provide needed information to builders, allowing them to seamlessly integrate NABERS data into their processes.
