NABERS UK measures and rates the energy use of offices to help building owners accurately track and communicate the energy performance, as well as help to identify areas for savings and improvement.
NABERS UK offers two products: Energy for Offices measures the efficiency of an office building and rates its performance; while Design for Performance is the process whereby a developer or owner commits to design, build and commission a new office development or major refurbishment to achieve a specific NABERS rating. Both products are designed to help improve the efficiency of office buildings, but Design for Performance goes one step further by ensuring that new developments are built to meet a high standard of energy efficiency from the outset.
