The NSW Government has committed $4.8 million to the Accelerating Net Zero Buildings program – an initiative to boost the transition of non-residential buildings towards net-zero emissions.

Under this initiative, the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) will investigate and develop a world-leading framework for measuring, benchmarking, and certifying emissions from construction and building materials.

Accelerating Net Zero Buildings will also include NABERS initiatives to drive new buildings towards high energy performance and reduce emissions in existing buildings.

The Accelerating Net Zero Buildings initiative has three different workstreams to help reduce carbon emissions in buildings across NSW: embodied carbon, energy starters, and new buildings.

This is a two-year program, scheduled to be completed by June 2023.
