Nabers UK, the UK version of the National Australian Built Environment Rating System, has been administered by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers since 2024, through its subsidiary CIBSE Certification
Over the past months, the CIBSE Certification team and the UK Net Zero Buildings Standard (UKNZCBS) team have collaborated to ensure Nabers UK certified ratings align with the operational requirements of the standard. Their efforts ensured that Nabers UK Energy for Office certifications may now be used to demonstrate compliance with UKNZCBS operational energy requirements for existing offices.
CIBSE Certification director Kieran O鈥橞rien, of, said: 鈥淲e are thrilled that Nabers UK Energy for Office ratings are recognised under the UK Net Zero Buildings Standard. This demonstrates the credibility and robustness of the scheme, providing building owners, occupiers and investors with confidence that their operational energy performance meets one of the highest sustainability standards in the UK. It鈥檚 another step forward in CIBSE鈥檚 mission to support the decarbonisation of buildings and a net-zero built environment.鈥�
