The National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) is a
performance-based rating system for buildings.
A NABERS rating for a building is based on a methodical assessment of the actual
environmental impact of operating it. For a rating to be accredited by NABERS, the
assessment on which it is based must be performed by a NABERS Accredited
Assessor and comply with a quality standard that sets out principles and rules for
gathering, interpreting and using data. Assessments may be audited for compliance.
The quality standard for an assessment is defined in the Rules for collecting and
using data. The Rules are amended as required by additional rulings, published on
the NABERS website, which apply the principles in the Rules to specific new issues
raised since the document was published.
These Rules are for assessing data centres for accredited NABERS Energy for
data centres ratings.
