    How Should I Use These NABERS Ratings For My Premises?

    The National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) is a comprehensive post construction rating tool. Designed for assessing existing building, not for evaluating designs under development, NABERS has been developed for the rating of residential and commercial office buildings by tracking the impacts they have on the environment, both directly and indirectly.

    Property owners will be forced to have an energy efficiency rating attached to their buildings within months or risk facing hefty fines under a proposal by the Federal Government. However, Landlords could slash waste and save thousands of dollars by having their buildings rated before the scheme becomes mandatory, according to one survey report.

    Green Buildings With BIM Part 1 – Determining Requirements

    The biggest impact on the natural environment is the built environment – as we start to see the effects of generations of ignorance about how human activities impact the natural world, there is a growing push towards green technologies. Green building design is about more than adding a grey water system and using solar panels, though. These measures are important, but the building’s design can make quite a difference in the demand for resources and therefore reduce load on whatever water and power systems are in place. We are launching a two-part look at how building information modelling pushes green design to the forefront of a construction project, and specifically at the requirements-listing phase.

    Save Energy, Save Money – Three Cost Effective Ways to Save Energy in Your Property

    Good Real Estate management should be about providing an excellent level of service, but sometimes the services offered have to be cut according to the budget available.

    If you run a property whereby costs are recharged to the tenants, your occupiers will not thank you for spending more of their money unnecessarily and worse still under many leases a landlord may not even be able to recover certain expenditure if it relates to items of improvement.

    So how can changes be brought about that will ultimately reduce energy use in a building complex or office building, and therefore bring cost reductions to the utility accounts, particularly if a capital expenditure is required to alter a property?
