The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) is the administrator for the NABERS UK Scheme. Originally launched in November 2020, NABERS UK has two product offerings available in the UK for office buildings: Design for Performance to drive energy-efficient new buildings, and NABERS UK Energy for Offices ratings to measure how energy-efficient existing buildings are.
Unlike design-based energy ratings, NABERS UK measures and rates the actual energy use of offices, helping building owners to accurately track and communicate the energy performance of their buildings. It also helps identify areas for savings and improvements. All ratings are carried out by Assessors who have successfully completed the NABERS UK Energy for Offices Assessor training.
The scheme is overseen by a steering committee comprising of CIBSE, the Better Buildings Partnership and NABERS, on behalf of the New South Wales Government, Australia. The Better Buildings Partnership has been an integral partner in the development of NABERS UK and acts as scheme ambassador to support its uptake and success.
