Mandatory Disclosure of Commercial Office Building Energy Efficiency
On 12 November 2009 The Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts announced legislation for the mandatory disclosure of energy efficiency for commercial office buildings.
Phase one involves a national disclosure scheme for large commercial office buildings (2000 meters squared or larger)
Phase two involves consideration of expanding disclosure to other commercial building types, including hotels, retail buildings, schools and hospitals.
The scheme is designed to help prospective buyers and tenants make informed decisions when they are looking for office space.
Building owners and managers will require an accredited NABERS Assessor, of which HFM Asset Management has five.
