2013 NABERS training series open for registrations
NABERS is the industry standard for measuring the real environmental impact of Australian buildings. For owners and tenants of buildings, NABERS provides a simple way to measure, report, improve and promote environmental performance. Over two thirds of the national office market has been rated with NABERS.
The 2013 NABERS training series for people to become accredited assessors or simply better understand how the NABERS rating tools work are now open for registration. Courses are being held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
The NABERS Introduction Seminar is suitable for anyone who wants to better understand NABERS ratings and the obligations of property owners under the Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) scheme. CBD requires anyone selling or leasing office space greater than 2000 m2 to disclose a NABERS Energy rating.
For those who wish to conduct NABERS ratings, the Accredited Assessor Training Courses (offices/hotels and shopping centres) provide a pathway to accreditation. Whether you wish to rate your own building, take advantage of the increased demand for assessors under the CBD scheme or simply gain an in-depth understanding of the NABERS rating tools, this training is suitable for you.
The NABERS training calendar is as follows:
Introductory Seminary (2-5 pm):
- Melbourne: 15 April and 4 June
- Perth: 6 May
- Brisbane: 20 May
- Sydney: 27 May
Assessor course: (two full days):
