  The NABERS, an acronym for National Australian Built Environment Rating System, is a performance-based commercial space rating system. This NABERS rating applies to various structures such as office buildings, office tenancies, data centers, apartment buildings, shopping complexes, etc.  A NABERS rating evaluates the actual environmental impact of a commercial structure during its operation. A NABERS Accredited Assessor must perform the assessment (energy, water, indoor environment, etc.). The assessment should also comply with the Rules NABERS accreditation. Fact 1: NABERS Rating measures actual environmental impact, not intent The primary focus of the NABERS scheme was developing a rating system emphasizing “actual energy consumption and greenhouse gas production of a structure (rather than understanding and considering the design intent).  This was specifically vital because energy-efficient designs don’t perform at the claimed or stated level.  The failure to comply with the cl
