NABERS Embodied Carbon Integration with V-Quest
The NABERS Embodied Carbon tool is fast becoming a requirement for commercial developments—especially government-funded projects—and V-Quest is now integrated to make it seamless.
Why This Matters
The upcoming V-Quest x NABERS integration is built to eliminate the tedious manual entry of material quantities. Instead of hours spent transcribing data from your BIM or design model into spreadsheets, your material breakdowns will export directly into the NABERS Embodied Carbon Calculator—preserving your specifications and saving precious design time.
What is the NABERS Embodied Carbon Calculator?
NABERS’ embodied carbon tool is an Excel-based calculator that estimates your project’s carbon impact and provides a projected star rating. It draws on:
- Material quantities from your design
- Project location
- Building form and type
You can use the calculator from concept through to construction. It's built to help designers course-correct and refine their approach—without needing a full LCA every time.
How V-Quest Makes It Effortless
With V-Quest, you’ll be able to export material data directly from your design file into the NABERS calculator format, automatically populating fields with:
- Quantified materials from your model
- Assembly types and specifications
- Building metadata (e.g. floor area, floors, typology)
This reduces double-handling, ensures accuracy, and gives you back hours per project to focus on what matters—designing buildings that perform.
Be Ready for Compliance and Ratings
As NABERS ratings become standard for carbon transparency in Australia, V-Quest helps your team stay compliant, competitive, and efficient. Whether you're chasing a 6-star rating or trying to meet internal ESG targets, this integration brings automation and accuracy to the forefront of your design process.
