NABERSNZ

Commercial buildings use 21 percent of New Zealand’s electricity, costing business $800 million every year. NABERSNZ™ is a tool to rate and improve the energy efficiency of New Zealand’s office buildings. It is an independent tool, backed by the New Zealand government.

A NABERSNZ Certified Rating provides a clear view of how well a building or tenanted space is using energy. NABERSNZ gives a star rating, from 0 to 6, that clearly shows your building’s energy performance compared to others.

New Zealand adapted the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) model from Australia, as part of the EECA Business mandate to help New Zealand businesses improve energy use and reduce carbon emissions.

NABERSNZ is licensed to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) and is administered by the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC). Ratings are carried out by trained assessors.
