We can provide stand-alone NABERS ratings and BEECs.
One innovative extension of this service is our NABERS monitoring subscription service. Over a 12 month period, we build the NABERS rating in front of the client or facility manager. We also conduct a commissioning audit and create a site specific ‘playbook’.
The playbook uses energy modelling to generate expectations for how each fan, pump, chiller etc. should operate. These expectations are expressed with respect to other variables including external weather and percentage leasing. Using the site’s playbook, a facility manager can know instantly whether a building service is ‘in tune’ or not and then investigate.
A monthly meeting will transparently show the owner or facility manager the exact NABERS rating at that instant. It also identifies missing paperwork and also proposes ‘low hanging fruit’ to improve the NABERS rating.
When you drive your car, you know intuitively what ‘doesn’t feel right’. The NABERS subscription process is similar and can inform owners what areas may need attention.
Our key sustainability capabilities include:
- Performance analysis, energy auditing, and system optimisation
- Passive and mixed-mode design strategies
- Odour modelling and commercial kitchen discharge system design
- Meteorological modelling and air quality impact assessments
- Fire and carpark ventilation modelling and performance solutions
- Thermal comfort and air distribution modelling fo critical environments and pull-down analysis
- Seismic analysis for MEP systems
- Whole-building energy modelling and peak energy demand assessments
- Water supply planning, greywater systems, and waste management
- Sustainable building materials advice and synthetic bill estimation
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- NCC Section J compliance reporting – Deemed-to-Satisfy and JV3 modelling
- NatHERS modelling and certification
- NABERS Energy, Water, and IEQ modelling, monitoring, and reporting
- NABERS and BEEC certification (in-house NABERS Assessors)
- Green Star project support (in-house Green Star Accredited Professionals)
- WELL Building Standard (v1 & v2) guidance (in-house WELL Accredited Professional)
- Living Building Challenge advisory
- Bushfire Tenability Studies
Our integrated, evidence-based approach ensures that every project not only meets sustainability targets, but also delivers long-term value to clients, users, and the environment.

Dos and Don’ts – MEP Design for Prefabricated Buildings
Introduction Prefabrication is transforming the construction industry — offering speed, cost-efficiency, recycling opportunities and quality control by shifting building work from site to factory. This process has the potential to be superior to traditional building in terms of both time and costs, with claimed time savings of between 20 and 50 percent faster than traditional […]

Teaspoon Ventilation: Rethinking Basement Car Park Ventilation Design
Basement car parks are often some of the most challenging spaces to coordinate during construction. Between structural elements, drainage services, lighting, fire systems, and head height requirements, ventilation systems can quickly become a source of complexity, cost, and programme delays. Traditional approaches frequently rely on extensive ductwork and coordination efforts that place additional pressure on […]
