NABERS UK is a performance-based rating system for office buildings, measuring and verifying how efficiently they use energy in operation. Originally developed in Australia (where it has transformed building performance across the market), NABERS has now launched in the UK — offering landlords, developers, and investors a trusted way to improve and showcase real-world energy outcomes.
At LifeProven, we provide end-to-end NABERS consultancy — from Design for Performance (DfP) commitments to operational ratings — helping you future-proof assets, meet investor and regulatory requirements, and unlock ESG-driven value.
NABERS (the National Australian Built Environment Rating System) is an independent, government-backed framework that measures a building’s operational energy performance, giving it a rating from 1 to 6 stars.

At LifeProven, we provide strategic and technical NABERS support, ensuring your building isn’t just designed to perform — it proves it.
