Unlock the full potential of your building's sustainability with Certified Energy’s NABERS + Tenancy Lighting Assessment (TLA) service. Learn how these comprehensive assessments can help you reduce costs, improve energy efficiency, and meet regulatory requirements.
Understanding NABERS: The Key to Building Sustainability
NABERS, or the National Australian Built Environment Rating System, is an essential tool for measuring the environmental performance of buildings. This comprehensive rating system evaluates key areas such as energy efficiency, water usage, waste management, and indoor environment quality. By providing a standardised and transparent metric, NABERS enables building owners and tenants to understand their environmental impact and identify opportunities for improvement.
The primary benefit of NABERS lies in its ability to drive sustainability within the built environment. By benchmarking performance, NABERS helps stakeholders make informed decisions that enhance energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and improve overall environmental outcomes. This not only supports regulatory compliance but also boosts the marketability of properties by showcasing a commitment to sustainability.
The Role of Tenancy Lighting Assessment (TLA) in Energy Efficiency
The Tenancy Lighting Assessment (TLA) is a specialised service that focuses on measuring the power density of lighting fixtures and control systems within office tenancies. Given that lighting can account for a significant portion of tenancy energy consumption, the TLA provides critical insights into how lighting systems can be optimised for better energy efficiency.
By conducting a detailed survey of installed and proposed lighting fixtures, the TLA assesses their power density and efficiency. This information is crucial for identifying opportunities for retrofits and upgrades that can lead to substantial energy savings. Additionally, the TLA evaluates lighting control systems, ensuring that they are designed and implemented to minimise energy wastage while maintaining optimal lighting conditions.
The Synergy Between NABERS and TLA: A Holistic Approach
Combining NABERS and TLA assessments offers a comprehensive approach to building sustainability. While NABERS provides a broad evaluation of a building's environmental performance, the TLA zeroes in on the specific area of lighting energy use. This dual focus ensures that all aspects of energy consumption are addressed, leading to more effective and targeted sustainability strategies.
One of the key advantages of integrating NABERS and TLA is the ability to achieve compliance with regulations such as the 2019 National Construction Code (NCC). Additionally, these assessments highlight retrofit opportunities, guiding stakeholders towards interventions that can significantly enhance energy efficiency. The result is not only reduced operational costs but also improved building marketability, as properties with high sustainability ratings are increasingly in demand.
