Data required for shopping centre ratings
This table provides a summary of the
information needed to calculate a NABERS rating. Note that NABERS for shopping centres only
rates the energy and water use that is under the control of the shopping centre
owner. It includes all facilities provided to the retail tenants and the
associated back-of-house requirements.
Where a shopping centre includes areas that are not actually shopping
centre areas, such as offices or hotels, then an Assessor will exclude that area
and the associated energy and water use from the rating. Your Assessor will
know the rules that apply when making exclusions.
