Building Energy Efficiency Certificate

Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) requires owners and manager to obtain a Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC) when selling or leasing a commercial office space or building.

Transition period requirements (1 November 2010 – 31 October 2011)
There will be a transition period for the first twelve months of the CBD program, during which building owners and lessors can satisfy their disclosure obligations by registering a current National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) energy rating instead of a full BEEC.

Full BEEC requirements (from 1 November 2011)
From the end of the transitional period a full, valid BEEC must be disclosed and made publicly accessible on the Building Energy Efficient Register. The BEEC is valid for 12 months, must be prepared by an accredited assessor and must include:

• a NABERS base building energy rating;
• a tenancy lighting assessment (benchmarked against best practice); ; and
• general energy efficiency guidance.
