Who can complete a BESS Assessment?

   

 
 

   

Short answer

Only qualified sustainability assessors with experience in BESS and local council requirements should complete your assessment.

 

Full answer

BESS Assessments require technical knowledge of building design, energy modelling, and local planning regulations. While the BESS tool itself is online and accessible, councils expect reports prepared by accredited professionals. Using an unqualified assessor can result in errors, rejected applications, and costly delays.

 

Why this matters

Choosing the right assessor ensures your project meets council requirements the first time. It also provides confidence that your design incorporates best practice sustainability principles.
