Robert Cohen, Verco, recently presented at EcoBuild on the BBP supported initiative, Design for Performance. His presentation highlights the lack of transparency on energy efficiency of new commercial buildings, how the Australian NABERS scheme is tackling this issue and how this solution can be applied in the UK through the Design for Performance initiative. The project looks to replicate the hugely successful NABERS Commitment Agreement and explores the applicability and opportunity of developing and testing such a framework in the UK.
