Environmental performance and evidence coverage are measured separately. Ownership and community information remain separate from this environmental rating.
| Pillar | Weight | Performance level | Contribution | Evidence and source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nature, biodiversity and regeneration | 30% | 2/4 | 15 / 30 points | Operator reports replanting site vegetation after construction and routing buried utilities beneath the driveway to reduce habitat disturbance. No measured biodiversity outcome is provided. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Energy and climate | 15% | 3/4 | 11.25 / 15 points | Operator describes 69 solar thermal panels, heat recovery ventilation, hydroelectric supply and induction cooking. These implemented systems are self-reported. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Water | 10% | 3/4 | 7.5 / 10 points | Operator reports a 40,000-litre rainwater cistern for toilets and wastewater treatment. Water savings are not independently quantified here. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Waste and plastic | 10% | 2/4 | 5 / 10 points | Operator describes refillable bottles, reusable bags and avoiding plastics. A comprehensive composting programme is still exploratory and receives no implementation credit. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Food, farming and sourcing | 10% | 3/4 | 7.5 / 10 points | Operator reports an 80% Newfoundland and Labrador ingredient sourcing target and local handline cod. Local sourcing is not proof of organic certification. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Buildings, heritage reuse and land use | 15% | 3/4 | 11.25 / 15 points | Operator describes a low-concrete foundation, durable local wood and insulated glazing. This is a new building, not documented heritage-building reuse. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Transport and operational footprint | 5% | 2/4 | 2.5 / 5 points | Operator offers bikes and encourages shared transfers. Flights and claimed offsets do not establish verified emissions reductions. Source · 2026-10-02 |
| Measurement, transparency and certification | 5% | 2/4 | 2.5 / 5 points | Public operational details support source traceability. Offset and certification claims have not been independently verified here. Source · 2026-10-02 |
Version 2.1 weights conservation and habitat at 30%, heritage reuse and land use at 15%, energy at 15%, water at 10%, waste at 10%, food at 10%, transport at 5% and transparency at 5%. A pillar contributes its weight multiplied by its performance level divided by four. Solar equipment alone cannot establish a high overall score. Missing pillars are excluded from the performance denominator and reduce evidence coverage. Performance levels: 0 documented absence or contrary evidence; 1 claim; 2 a specific implemented system; 3 several evidenced systems; 4 quantified outcomes or independently verified exceptional implementation. Ratings require at least 70% coverage; below 85% coverage they are capped at 3/5. If less than half the weighted evidence supports implemented systems, the rating is capped at 2/5. A 4/5 result requires at least 70% evidenced performance. A 5/5 result requires at least 90% performance and coverage, exceptional documented outcomes across at least half the total weight, and strong nature conservation. Evidence must be rechecked within two years.
