The Smarter Way to Improve Your NABERS Rating (And What to do Next)

For commercial property managers and owners, improving your NABERS rating isn’t just about ticking a compliance box — it’s about asset value, reducing costs, driving efficiency, and demonstrating your commitment to sustainability. But achieving these improvements across property portfolios requires a smarter, more strategic approach. That’s where Avani comes in. 

Why NABERS Ratings Matter 

A NABERS rating (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) measures the environmental performance of buildings. High ratings signal energy efficiency, lower emissions, and a commitment to sustainable operations, giving you a competitive edge in attracting tenants, reducing operational costs, and meeting regulatory requirements. 

But achieving a high NABERS rating is no small feat — especially for older or less technological buildings. It requires access to detailed building data, identifying inefficiencies, and implementing strategies that deliver measurable results. Avani simplifies this process by transforming how you manage and optimise your buildings’ performance at a portfolio level. 

Eliminating Wasted Resources 

Avani’s mission is to eliminate waste in building operations. From energy and water to labour and carbon emissions, inefficiencies in commercial real estate portfolios can lead to higher costs and lower performance. By addressing these issues holistically, Avani helps you make the meaningful changes needed to elevate your NABERS rating. 

Here’s how Avani tackles waste: 

Energy Consumption: Avani’s clients have achieved reductions of more than 10% in portfolio-wide energy usage by optimising energy performance through real-time data insights and automated controls. 

Carbon Emissions: By responding to the carbon intensity of the energy grid in real time, Avani enables dynamic adjustments to minimise emissions and align with sustainability goals. 

Time & Labour: Manual processes can eat into valuable resources. Avani’s read-and-write technology automates workflows, allowing your team to focus on strategic priorities rather than repetitive tasks. 

Water, Waste, Gas, and More: Avani integrates data from all building systems, interacting in real time to ensure comprehensive operational oversight for continuous performance improvements.
