NABERS Panel: From performance to policy: how to bring NABERS to your country

The NABERS program has demonstrated great success in improving commercial building energy efficiency in Australia and is on track to repeat this success in a number of other sectors as well as in other markets, like the UK where it has recently been adopted.  But how have these jurisdictions managed to embed a performance-based rating system into their local building policies and codes?  Find out by joining a panel of experts as they share insights, challenges, successes, and tips from their experience in government and consulting.
