Measurement, transparency and certification5%Missing or stale evidenceUnknown

Standard 2.2 (draft) 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. The rating is 1 plus 4 times the evidenced performance, rounded. A 5/5 also needs at least 90% coverage, 90% performance, level 4 evidence on at least half the weight, and nature conservation at level 3 or above. Accommodation scores are coming once this category passes its release checks. Evidence must be rechecked within two years.
