My building has received a DfP Design Reviewed target rating. Can I still promote my building?
Yes, your DfP target rating remains valid until you receive your first actual rating. NABERS UK users can use the NABERS UK logo and trademark, in accordance with the Design for Performance brand guidelines.
Once processed by CIBSE Certification, the rating will be listed on our Design for Performance register.
Any Independent Design Reviews in progress should be submitted to CIBSE Certification once the design-reviewed target rating has been confirmed by your IDR panelist, and if appropriate the Design for Performance Agreement has been transferred (novated) from BRE to CIBSE Certification.
BRE will be in contact with the few remaining DfP Agreement holders directly to arrange the novation (transfer) of these to CIBSE Certification. If you have any queries regarding this process or have changed your contact details since originally registering with BRE, please contact BRE directly, at enquiries@bregroup.com clearly marked “Attention NABERS UK Team”.
Once the transfer has been processed by CIBSE Certification, and status reviewed and confirmed with NABERS, the rating will be listed on our register. CIBSE Certification will then liaise with the applicant and update status on the register as appropriate.
Any new Energy for Offices rating registrations can be submitted to CIBSE Certification, and Information on the process and forms to be completed are available on our website. You can contact us at nabersuk@cibsecertification.org
