The only cost associated with CitySwitch Green Office is the cost of undertaking an annual NABERS Energy tenancy or whole building rating to determine your progress in achieving your CitySwitch Commitment.

There is no set fee for a NABERS Energy rating. The cost of a rating will depend on the size of your tenancy and the time and difficulty involved in gathering the appropriate data.

As a rough guide, if your tenancy is around 1,500m² you should expect to pay between $1,000 - $4,000. However, as with any other product or service, compare quotes before selecting an Assessor.
