Policy Position Paper: A Better National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS)

ASBEC strongly supports the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS). This support dates back to the involvement of individual ASBEC members in developing and launching the initial NABERS program.  It is because of this support that ASBEC is committed to the continual improvement of NABERS and its underlying tools.

This Position Paper is the consolidation of our members’ ideas for a better NABERS.

Recommendations cover the following elements:

  • Governance and oversight
  • Engagement with industry
  • Tool development
  • Technical improvements
  • Training and accreditation
  • Metrics and data
  • Customer service

ASBEC believes a rigorous and nationally consistent rating tool is pivotal to fostering a more sustainable built environment.

ASBEC will continue to partner with Government to recommend practical and technical improvements to NABERS, and provide a conduit for key stakeholders.
