The National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) is a performance-based rating system that measures the environmental impact of buildings in Australia. It assesses factors such as energy efficiency, water usage, indoor environment quality, and waste management to help building owners and tenants improve sustainability.

=== Key Features of NABERS: ===

* Performance-Based: Ratings are based on actual operational data rather than theoretical models.
* Star Rating System: Buildings receive a rating from 1 to 6 stars, with 6 stars indicating market-leading sustainability performance.
* Categories Assessed:
** NABERS Energy: Measures energy efficiency and carbon emissions.
** NABERS Water: Assesses water consumption and efficiency.
** NABERS Indoor Environment: Evaluates air quality, lighting, temperature, and acoustics.
** NABERS Waste: Tracks and improves waste management and recycling.

=== Why NABERS Matters: ===

* Mandatory for Some Buildings: NABERS Energy ratings are required for office buildings over 1,000 m² under Australia’s Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) Program.
* Improves Sustainability: Helps building owners and tenants reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
* Market Competitiveness: High NABERS ratings can increase property value and attract sustainability-conscious tenants.
