Unlock the potential of your commercial property with Certified Energy’s expert BEEC services, ensuring compliance, cost savings, and a greener footprint.
The Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC) is a mandatory certification for commercial buildings over 1,000 square metres that are being sold, leased, or subleased in Australia. This certificate serves as a comprehensive measure of a building's energy performance, ensuring it meets specific energy efficiency standards set by the government.
A BEEC provides transparency for potential buyers and tenants, offering them insight into the building's energy consumption and lighting efficiency. This transparency is crucial for making informed decisions in today's environmentally-conscious market.
A BEEC combines two critical components to provide a thorough evaluation of a building's energy efficiency: the NABERS Energy star rating and the Tenancy Lighting Assessment (TLA).
The NABERS Energy star rating assesses the overall energy performance of the building based on its actual energy use, providing a star rating from one to six, with six being the most energy-efficient. The Tenancy Lighting Assessment, on the other hand, evaluates the efficiency of the lighting systems within the building, focusing on the lighting environment provided to tenants. Together, these assessments deliver a detailed picture of a building's energy efficiency, helping owners and tenants understand and manage energy consumption effectively.
Obtaining a BEEC is not only a legal requirement for certain commercial buildings but also offers numerous benefits. Compliance with BEEC regulations ensures that your property meets government standards, avoiding potential fines and legal issues.
Moreover, a BEEC can significantly enhance the marketability of your building. Energy-efficient buildings are increasingly attractive to tenants and buyers who are keen on reducing their carbon footprint and minimising energy costs. Additionally, improving your building's energy efficiency can lead to substantial cost savings by reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills. Supporting sustainability goals through energy efficiency also aligns your property with broader environmental initiatives, adding to its appeal.
Certified Energy follows a meticulous process to ensure your building obtains a BEEC smoothly and efficiently. Our process begins with checking the current BEEC status of your building to understand its compliance history and requirements.
Next, our accredited assessors conduct thorough NABERS and Tenancy Lighting Assessments (TLA) to evaluate the building's energy performance and lighting efficiency. Once the assessments are complete, we compile the findings and submit the BEEC application on your behalf. Finally, we ensure the certificate is registered and up to date, valid for up to 12 months. This step-by-step approach guarantees compliance and optimises your building's energy performance.
Timely certification is crucial to avoid penalties and attract desirable tenants or buyers. With BEECs valid for up to 12 months, it is essential to keep the certification current to maintain compliance and marketability.
