NABERS Energy (previously ABGR) is an industry recognised tool to help building owners and tenants across Australia benchmark their greenhouse performance.
CitySwitch Green Office is officially partnered with the NSW Office of Environment & Heritage who administer NABERS nationally, using this tool as the formal assessment for the program.
NABERS Energy rates the energy efficiency of buildings and tenancies from 1 to 6 stars, with 6 stars representing an exceptionally high level of energy efficiency. With the average tenancy performing at 2½ stars, a 4 star commitment means the tenant is at least 20 per cent more efficient than the general commercial tenant market.
More information regarding NABERS Energy can be found within the CitySwitch resources section.
For a limited time, organisations signing their City of Sydney tenancy up to CitySwitch can apply for financial assistance towards the cost of their NABERS Energy rating. Find out more >
