NABERS UK

NABERS UK is an operational rating scheme for existing office buildings in the UK.  The scheme was adapted for use in the UK by the Better Buildings Partnership from the successful Australian model that has seen carbon emissions reduce since its inception.  The scheme is administered in the UK by CIBSE and KJ Tait are accredited to conduct NABERS UK assessments.   

NABERS is an operational rating system that assesses a building’s in-use energy consumption and benchmarks this against net lettable area and hours of occupation.  The rating scheme awards up to six stars and is a robust method of establishing how energy efficient a building is.   

We have NABERS UK Assessors able to produce and lodge NABERS ratings for existing office buildings in the UK and provide guidance on how to improve their rating.
