Why should I rate my building?

Every office building has the potential to reduce operating costs, improve efficiency, build corporate reputation and make a real and positive difference to the environment by becoming more sustainable. It’s a matter of switching off, using less and recycling more.

By using NABERS to assess the efficiency and environmental performance of an office building or tenancy, you’ll be able to see how you measure up against others and where you have an opportunity to save energy and water and improve the indoor air quality.

Having a current, independent and reliable rating can help building owners, managers and tenants to understand the performance of their building or tenancy over time as well as the impact of actions taken in the key areas of lighting, indoor air quality, heating/air conditioning, and water use. Research has shown that, by implementing simple energy efficient practices, many office buildings can save 20 to 40 percent on their energy bills and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Other benefits of rating office building include:

  • Meeting Commercial Building Disclosure requirements
  • Identifying ways to lower yearly operating costs
  • Identifying cost savings across a property portfolio
  • Measuring the impact of sustainability initiatives
  • Making your office building more desirable to tenants
  • Achieving higher rents and increasing asset value
  • Improving corporate reputation
  • Meeting environmentally responsible reporting criteria
  • Creating a better work environment for employees
  • Increasing shareholder value
  • Meeting tenant and community expectations
