About NABERS for hotels
Understanding your hotel's environmental impact
Hotel buildings have significant opportunities to reduce their energy and water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. An efficient hotel can reduce its impact on the environment, and save operating costs for the owner and manager.
Many hotels are now taking steps to improve their sustainability outcomes. At the same time, guests are seeking evidence of environmental responsibility when they choose where to stay. NABERS ratings provide a robust, relevant and transparent measure of the environmental performance of your hotel.
Sustainability benchmarks for hotels
NABERS is the industry standard for measuring and benchmarking the environmental performance of existing Australian buildings, incorporating the trusted Australian Building Greenhouse Rating for offices. NABERS provides a suite of tools to rate a range of environmental impact categories of hotel, office and residential buildings, with retail tools under development.
Launched in May 2008, NABERS Energy and Water ratings for Hotels allow you to compare the performance of your hotel to other similar buildings, and are the first step to managing the impact of your hotel on the environment.
NABERS is a national initiative of federal, state and territory governments, and is managed by the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water.
