[...] The cumulative score for the project is the basis for determining the certification rating of the project. [...] Compliance is achieved if the methods and measures have at least 80% degree of compliance, taking into consideration the justified hierarchy of the methods and measures, and the degree of implementation (none, low, moderate, high or not applicable) based on the significance of the sustainability impacts of the specific project under assessment.
