How much does a NABERS Energy rating cost?

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.

 

 

DECCW administration fee discount

As part of DECCW’s significant commitment and support to CitySwitch, the administration fee charged for ratings carried out by or on behalf of Signatories has been significantly reduced:

  • Signatories who occupy less than 1,000m2 will not be charged a fee
  • Signatories who occupy over 1,000m2 will be charged the reduced fee of $350 (excl. GST) - a saving of 50 percent

 

Using projections of ratings for the national program, DECCW’s support for the advancement of tenant energy efficiency through CitySwitch represents an in-kind funding of over $165,000.

Save on the cost of your rating

 

  • Compare quotes before selecting an assessor - there is no set fee for a NABERS Energy rating as every tenancy is different so costs will vary

 

  • Ensure all rating information is available at the time of the assesment - costs will increase if the assessor needs to locate missing information such as energy bills

 

  • Avoid unnecessary site visits - costs may increase if an assessor needs to make multiple visits to your tenancy
