The visuals currently split Building Energy Efficiency Certificate (BEEC) data grouped by state, month, year, star rating and NLA. This is shown in terms of total BEECs per year, and total unique buildings per year. This second dataset is provided because some buildings have multiple BEECs in a 12-month period.
When CBD Program data is downloaded monthly from the department’s ICT platform into excel based downloadable datasets it's then uploaded into Power BI to create these visuals.
CBD Program data only includes information regarding commercial office buildings that meet the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 (BEED Act) disclosure criteria.
Around 70% of the total number of NABERS energy ratings certified in the office building category are used in the CBD Program for BEECs, the rest being ‘voluntary’ ratings.
CBD Program performance metrics only reflect CBD Program activities.
The BEED Act mandated that disclosure affected buildings must display NABERS ratings in their advertisements from 2010, then required Tenancy Lighting Assessments (TLAs) and BEECs from 2011 onwards.
The regulatory scope of the CBD Program expanded in 2016, lowering the disclosure size threshold from 2000m2 to 1,000m2 with TLAs moving to a five-year validity period.
