NABERS & Bueno Analytics: A Proven Partnership for Building Performance
Exceed Your NABERS Goals with Dynamic, Data-Driven Optimisation
Achieving and maintaining high NABERS ratings is no longer about ticking a box once a year. With tightening ESG targets and growing scrutiny from investors, tenants, and regulators, commercial property owners must now go beyond audits and embrace continuous performance tracking.
Bueno’s NABERS optimisation solution replaces static, one-off assessments with live analytics that drive measurable rating improvement across your portfolio. Our approach transforms the NABERS cycle into a dynamic, collaborative process—pinpointing savings, validating actions, and delivering results that last.
Common NABERS Challenges We Solve
Performance Drift: Prevent rating decline between audits with ongoing fault detection and optimisation.
Manual Data & Reporting: Automate tracking for NABERS, NABERS UK/NZ and free up your team’s time.
Unclear Savings Opportunities: Identify exactly where inefficiencies are hiding—and what to do about them.
Portfolio Inconsistency: Compare and benchmark NABERS performance across all assets from a single view.
The Problem – Traditional NABERS Management is Outdated
Slow Audits, Static Reports, No Follow-Through
The typical NABERS journey is reactive and fragmented. Assessments can take up to 26 weeks and deliver only a moment-in-time snapshot. Once submitted, performance monitoring stops, leaving assets vulnerable to drift, inefficiency, and missed savings.
Traditional Model (Broken):
Static data from contractors
Slow audit cycles
Minimal visibility or verification
High effort, low continuity
The Bueno Approach:
Live 5-minute data capture
Continuous insight and verification
Integrated collaboration with ESG and site teams
Tangible improvements in rating and energy use
