IES Launches New Guide: Maximise NABERS Rating Potential with IESVE

Today, we’re delighted to announce the launch of our brand new guide, highlighting our well-defined workflow for using IES' Virtual Environment (IESVE) software to confidently maximise your NABERS rating potential on projects across Australia.

Over half of the buildings standing in 2050 in Australia will be constructed from today onwards. However, the built environment currently accounts almost a quarter of the country’s energy use and direct carbon emissions. Building rating systems can not only ensure new buildings are energy efficient with reduced emissions, but also encourage building owners to decarbonise and optimise energy performance of existing buildings. 

With Australia's 2035 decarbonisation target looming, the government have announced plans to expand the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS). Unlike most other rating systems, NABERS is performance-based – showing how your building performance tracks against your energy-saving measures.

IESVE provides a powerful, flexible platform that enables design teams to meet these demands through accurate energy modelling, HVAC simulation, and iterative performance analysis. From first-time users to experienced practitioners, maximising your NABERS rating potential starts with adopting IESVE within your modelling workflow.
