Eighteen industry leaders including AECOM
and Arup have committed to being a
Supporter of NABERS UK, the
energy efficiency programme for office buildings, that is administered by BRE.
As advocates of NABERS UK, the Supporters will work in collaboration with
the NABERS UK team and other NABERS UK Supporters.
They will contribute to helping new commercial office developments or major
refurbishments in the UK to set a base building operational energy performance
target, verify its achievement, and help to drive improvements to energy
efficiency.
Supporters will achieve this by helping to promote NABERS UK to their
clients, support the upskilling of their staff to enable delivery of NABERS UK
products (Design for Performance and Energy for Offices), and provide technical
input to help shape the future of the scheme.
Farah Syed, NABERS UK Product Manager at BRE said: “We are delighted to introduce our NABERS UK
Supporters to the industry, and to have their advocacy and support of NABERS
UK, which will be key to helping shape the future uptake and evolution of
NABERS UK products.
“We very much look forward to working
together to bring about improvements to the energy performance of offices.”

The world-leading energy rating scheme for offices, NABERS UK energy
efficiency rating scheme was
launched last month, to help asset owners to achieve their net zero targets
and contribute to the UK’s wider decarbonisation drive.
The launch of NABERS comes as asset managers expect to see a rise in demand
for energy usage as the UK heads into winter, and face surging energy costs,
caused by the escalating energy crisis.
