NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) is an Australian Government initiative that measures the environmental performance of existing buildings, tenancies, and homes. Ratings cover energy, water, waste, and indoor environment quality on a 1‑6 star scale, with higher stars indicating better performance. NABERS Energy ratings are mandatory for certain large commercial buildings under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme, and participation is voluntary for other sectors. The system provides a transparent, comparable metric to drive improvements in sustainability across the built environment.
