NABERSNZ water webinar

What you need to know

Water is one of our most precious resources so we’re delighted to now be able to respond to your feedback to extend NABERSNZ beyond energy to include assessments for water efficiency in office buildings.

Bobby Shen, Senior Manager – Existing Buildings will outline the development of the tool, the motivations and considerations behind its introduction, and the pilot programme.

Alex Goryachev, Senior Technical Coordinator, will introduce the technical aspects of the tool, the NABERSNZ rules that underpin water ratings, and how to use the calculator.

For existing NABERSNZ Accredited Assessors, attending this webinar (or watch the recording) and answering a brief questionnaire will upgrade qualifications to enable support for rating of both energy and water. Note, it is mandatory for all NABERSNZ Accredited Assessors to upgrade before the end of 2025.

The session will include Q&A. We look to supporting you in driving the uptake of ratings for water efficiency with NABERSNZ!
