The National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) is a Government rating program that accurately measures the true environmental performance of our commercial and residential buildings. NABERS leveraged their 20 year anniversary to update their brand and expand their star rating program.
Their ambition is to Inspire economies to reward higher environmental performance through benchmarks. Our brand idea became ‘Northstar’ – which came to life in a simple and unique identity. From logos to star-rating, icons to images, this traditionally complex rating system now has progressive brand fitting of the innovative, sustainable design they advocate for.
This rebrand received a Good Design Award for Social Impact, and a Sydney Design Award in 2019.
“I have been blown away by how powerful NABERS’ idea of measuring real sustainability improvement has been. It is great to see the look and feel of the program finally matches the quality of the product itself.”
