Buildings with a highly rated NABERS Indoor Environment (IEQ) is ultimately a ‘win-win’ solution that will provide long-term results including happy, healthy, comfortable, and productive tenants who are more likely to remain tenanted within a building.
In turn, this will provide better returns and increased financial security for building owners.

3 key initiatives
The EAPlus Optimisation Team at Environmental Automation Pty Ltd was responsible for collecting and reporting the BMS data.
With all the data, a positive plan, and an overall realization of the importance of achieving a greater indoor environment, the EAPlus team identified 3 key initiatives for the two ISPT buildings to achieve six stars in NABERS IE:
- Collect data on VAV tenancy space temperatures and report on the stored data through the power of the Reliable Controls reporting package.
- Leveraging the intelligent acumens of the reporting package NABERS IE rules were configured to help identify zones that were reading outside of ASHRAE 55 limits.
- Collect the insights driven by the Reliable Controls reporting package, and utilize those insights to make specialized recommendations and actions to effectively communicate advice to the client, so they can maintain indoor air quality and optimize tenant comfort levels.
sustainability
"True sustainability can only be achieved if all stakeholders are on board working together and that’s another success story of this project," said Jason Duncan, Australasia Sales Manager for Reliable Controls.
Jason Duncan adds, "The way ISPT Engineering, CBRE Management, NetZero, and Environmental Automation have worked together to achieve the 6-star rating in a relatively short time frame is an example of technical aptitude and professionalism that sets the bar high for our industry, well done everyone involved."
