Please rate your level of awareness and knowledge about the Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) Program.
Please rate your level of awareness and knowledge about the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS)
What type of building/s are you responding about:
If you are responding about a particular building, does that building currently have a National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) rating?
Who is most interested in your buildings’ energy use?
Are there barriers to you getting and disclosing your building’s energy rating?
What are the barriers?
What might be needed to help you overcome those barriers?
What benefits do you think there are in having a valid NABERS rating?
What are your views on expanding the CBD Program to different types of commercial buildings in line with the suggested road map (see discussion paper for a description of the road map)?
The success of CBD Program in the commercial office buildings sector is in itself a testament to the importance of building disclosures. As such, it makes perfect sense to expand the program to other buildings as without this the entire purpose of the program gets defeated. This is because it is not just the office buildings that consume energy and emit GHG gases - all buildings contribute to global emissions and affect climate change. There is no doubt that all building types should be included in the mandatory disclosure.
What do you see are the key opportunities and benefits to expanding the coverage of the CBD Program?
You cannot control what you do not measure. Expanding the coverage of CBD Program will help in measuring the consumption, intensity and emissions from different building types, which is required if we are to collectively tackle the climate change issues and global warming. This is required to be in line with federal government's net zero targets.
What are the perceived draw backs, key challenges, or areas of concern you have for the expansion of the CBD Program to your sector / building type?
In addition to the NABERS Energy rating, select any other information that should be disclosed
Select which of the following ownership structures should be included in any expansion of the CBD Program:
If office tenancies are included in the CBD Program should offices still be required to have a Tenancy Lighting Assessment (TLA) as part of the Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC)?
What are your views on the use of minimum energy performance standards in the road map to set a minimum standard for buildings to reduce their operational emissions and improve their energy efficiency?
