Which BERDE rating corresponds to 61-70%?

Which BERDE rating corresponds to 61-70%?

• A. 2 STAR
• B. 1 STAR
• C. 3 STAR
• D. 4 STAR

Answer: (A)

In BERDE, the star rating is tied to a percentage score achieved across the rating criteria. When a project lands in the 61–70% range, it earns a two-star rating. This spot reflects solid, meaningful sustainable performance across the assessed areas, showing good implementation of green designs and practices, but not yet reaching the higher thresholds needed for three or four stars. To move up a notch, the project would need to push the overall percentage into the next band by strengthening performance across criteria such as energy use, water management, materials, and indoor environmental quality, and by providing robust verification of those improvements.
