NABERS has to be certified annually, giving landlords and facility managers the incentive to continuously improve performance.<\/p><p>There is a need to close the <strong>\u2018performance gap\u2019,<\/strong> the significant difference between predicted and actual energy use in certified buildings. NABERS \u2013 already a proven driver of efficiency in Australia and \u2013 since 2020 in the UK \u2013 addresses this by:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Mandating annual audits:<\/strong> a building&#8217;s rating (1 to 6 stars) is based on real data and must be reassessed yearly, ensuring continuous operational improvement<\/li><li><strong>Design for performance (DfP):<\/strong> this methodology requires complex energy modelling and independent review from the design stage to set achievable <em>operational<\/em> energy targets.<\/li><li><strong>Driving accountability:<\/strong> NABERS forces collaboration between designers, contractors and tenants, and supports the use of green leases placing energy budget limits on tenants.<\/li><\/ul><p>Since 2012, the average NABERS rating for Australian offices has risen from 3.6 to 4.9 stars, with emissions falling from over 160 to under 60 kg of CO<sub>2<\/sub> per square metre.<\/p><p><strong>Implications for design and value<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><strong>Higher value:<\/strong> experience shows that buildings with high NABERS ratings command <strong>higher rents<\/strong> and lease faster, proving that operational transparency pays off.<\/li><li><strong>Design changes:<\/strong> Designers must reconsider features like expansive, fully-glazed fa\u00e7ades, which, while aesthetically popular, can negatively impact energy performance and thermal comfort, potentially costing a building one full star.<\/li><li><strong>Long-term savings:<\/strong> While implementing DfP adds complexity to the design phase, it is significantly cheaper than the retrofitting required for seven- or eight-year-old buildings that are already failing to meet the modern low energy and low carbon standards.<\/li><\/ul><p>The consensus was that while introducing NABERS to Poland presents challenges \u2013 such as the current lack of a reliable benchmark for the Polish existing building stock \u2013 the rigour and transparency of this methodology offer the only viable path for the Polish real estate sector to achieve genuine, long-term operational sustainability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
