The NABERS UK scheme covers buildings located in the UK only, though we are aware of interest from organisations with assets based in the Republic of Ireland. If there is sufficient market interest and commitment then the scheme can expand to include to include ROI. If this is something you would support, please feel to contact us at nabersuk@cibsecertification.org.

If you have submitted a Design for Performance project application and it has not yet appeared on our Online Register, then one of the following reasons will apply.

1. The novation of the contract from BRE has not yet been completed. If you have not received a novation agreement, then please contact BRE and request one.

Yes, your DfP target rating remains valid until you receive your first actual rating. NABERS UK users can use the NABERS UK logo and trademark, in accordance with the Design for Performance brand guidelines. 

Once processed by CIBSE Certification, the rating will be listed on our Design for Performance register.

Any Independent Design Reviews in progress should be submitted to CIBSE Certification once the design-reviewed target rating has been confirmed by your IDR panelist, and if appropriate the Design for Performance Agreement has been transferred (novated) from BRE to CIBSE Certification. 

BRE will be in contact with the few remaining DfP Agreement holders directly to arrange the novation (transfer) of these to CIBSE Certification. If you have any queries regarding this process or have changed your contact details since originally registering with BRE, please contact BRE directly, at enquiries@bregroup.com clearly marked “Attention NABERS UK Team”. 

Once the transfer has been processed by CIBSE Certification, and status reviewed and confirmed with NABERS, the rating will be listed on our register. CIBSE Certification will then liaise with the applicant and update status on the register as appropriate.

Any new Energy for Offices rating registrations can be submitted to CIBSE Certification, and Information on the process and forms to be completed are available on our website. You can contact us at nabersuk@cibsecertification.org

Any certified Energy for Offices ratings can be promoted, as per the branding guidelines, during the rating validity period (generally 12 months). All ratings processed are listed on our register
