NABERS launches ratings for small shopping centres
08 August 2019
The
NABERS for
Shopping Centres
rating has had strong uptake – with almost 150 centres rated last
financial year. To date, most of the centres rated were larger than
15,000m2 – as the NABERS benchmarks were not considered representative
for smaller centres.
NABERS was asked by industry to expand the benchmarks to these smaller
centres so that they could get full coverage of their portfolios.
Property Council of Australia research also indicated that 75% of all
shopping centres across Australia are smaller than 15,000m2. So this
expansion now covers the 75% of shopping centres not previously covered
by our tool.
On 1 July NABERS launched new benchmarks for small shopping centres.
Ratings are now representative for:
-
All shopping centres for water ratings; and
-
Shopping centres greater than 5,000m2 for energy.
While most of the information to
be collected is the same as for large shopping centres there are some
key differences – more information can be found on the shopping
centres page,
