Official source

How to apply

1. Determine if your building is covered: commercial office space of 1,000 m² or more net lettable area offered for sale, lease, or sublease triggers mandatory BEEC disclosure under the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010
2. Search the Building Energy Efficiency Register at cbd.gov.au to check if a current BEEC already exists for the building
3. Engage a CBD Accredited Assessor — only accredited assessors can apply for a BEEC; find one via the assessor directory at cbd.gov.au
4. Provide the assessor with 12 months of energy consumption data (electricity and gas bills), net lettable area documents, and lease records
5. The assessor conducts the NABERS Energy for offices rating assessment (base building or whole building) and a CBD Tenancy Lighting Assessment (TLA)
6. The assessor submits the BEEC application online to DCCEEW with the NABERS rating, TLA results, building owner details, and assessor accreditation number
7. DCCEEW processes the application (typically within 28 days of a complete application); an electronic BEEC is issued to the assessor
8. Display the BEEC prominently in any advertising material for the sale or lease; the BEEC is also published on the Building Energy Efficiency Register
9. Renew the BEEC annually (valid up to 12 months, expiring when either the NABERS rating or TLA expires)
