Driving Real NABERS UK Outcomes
With investor scrutiny, regulatory pressure, and tenant demand for energy-efficient buildings growing, NABERS UK is no longer just a voluntary certification—it is becoming a core requirement for future-proofing assets. Bueno is helping UK landlords not only achieve high NABERS UK ratings but also maintain and improve them year after year through our data-driven, AI-powered analytics platform.
In the following sections, we’ll explore exactly how Bueno empowers building owners, developers, and tenants to optimise their NABERS UK ratings through advanced tracking, fault detection, and long-term energy efficiency strategies.
Bueno's Continuous NABERS UK Performance Tracking & Benchmarking
Achieving and maintaining a strong NABERS UK rating requires continuous energy performance tracking, proactive management, and accurate benchmarking. Many building owners and managers only assess their NABERS UK rating once a year, but without ongoing performance monitoring, efficiency gains can be lost, operational drift can occur, and valuable energy savings opportunities can be missed.
Bueno eliminates this uncertainty by providing a continuous NABERS UK tracking solution, ensuring that buildings not only achieve a strong rating but also maintain and improve it over time.
How Bueno’s NABERS UK Performance Tracking Works
Bueno’s NABERS Tracker: Continuous Rating Projections
- Bueno’s NABERS Tracker provides near real-time insights into a building’s NABERS UK performance, allowing property teams to see how their rating is trending before an official assessment.
- This enables landlords to take early action if performance starts to decline, avoiding surprises when the official rating is due.
Benchmarking Against Similar Buildings
- Bueno’s analytics allow building owners to compare their performance to industry benchmarks, helping them understand how their asset stacks up against other NABERS-rated buildings in the market.
- By identifying where energy consumption is higher than expected, asset teams can target specific areas for efficiency improvements.
Tracking Key Operational Metrics
- Bueno’s platform continuously tracks energy use, occupancy patterns, HVAC efficiency, and metered data, providing a clear view of operational trends that impact NABERS UK ratings.
- This enables facilities teams to correct inefficiencies quickly, preventing rating downgrades and unnecessary energy waste.
Why Continuous NABERS UK Tracking is Essential
For many landlords, a NABERS UK rating is treated as a one-off assessment, but energy performance fluctuates throughout the year. Without ongoing tracking, unexpected performance drops can occur, leading to:
- Lower-than-expected NABERS UK ratings, which could negatively impact asset value.
- Increased energy costs from unnoticed inefficiencies.
- Compliance risks as investors and regulators push for verified, year-round energy performance.
With Bueno’s NABERS Tracker, landlords gain full visibility into their performance trends, ensuring they are always one step ahead of their NABERS UK rating assessment.
Industry Insight: Early Tracking Avoids Future Risks
At the Bueno NABERS UK panel discussion, industry leaders stressed the importance of continuous tracking:
“The worst mistake landlords can make is waiting until the last minute to check their NABERS UK rating. By then, it’s too late to fix problems. Continuous tracking is essential.”

Aligning Buildings with NABERS UK’s Design for Performance (DfP) & Warranty Period Optimisation
Achieving a high NABERS UK rating starts long before a building is fully operational. Many office developments fail to deliver on their predicted energy efficiency due to poor commissioning, unoptimised controls, and lack of early-stage performance validation. The Design for Performance (DfP) framework, commissioning process, and Defects Liability Period (DLP) present critical opportunities to ensure buildings meet their NABERS UK targets.
Bueno supports building owners at every stage of this journey, from early performance modelling to post-occupancy optimisation, ensuring that buildings operate as intended, without performance drift or hidden inefficiencies impacting NABERS UK ratings.
How Bueno Helps Buildings Meet NABERS UK from Day One
