The aim of NABERS Office Indoor Environment is to provide existing office building owners, managers and occupants throughout Australia with a reliable and easy-to-use benchmark of the impact of a building’s indoor environment on its occupants.

What aspects of the Indoor Environment does the rating address?

• Thermal Comfort
• Air Quality
• Acoustic Comfort

• Lighting
• Office Layout

NABERS Indoor Environment awards star ratings based on the building’s ability to deliver an appropriate indoor environment quality for occupants of the building. For tenancy and whole building ratings, this includes how the occupant’s activities impact the indoor environment with input also obtained through an occupant satisfaction survey.

The rating is provided in order to be able to compare buildings in as fair and consistent a manner as possible during their normal operation and is not intended to target the worst operating conditions either during the day or the year. A higher number of stars indicates better performance.

The number of stars is determined by the total points attained through either measured or surveyed results. Greater points are achieved when more optimal conditions of indoor environment exist to improve the comfort of the occupants rather than to just meet statutory obligation.
