How many points do some optional credits award in the Pearl Rating System?

In the Pearl Rating System, optional credits provide flexibility in achieving sustainability and performance goals. These credits can award 1 point or more than 1 point, depending on the specific criteria and achievements of the project. This feature allows project teams to choose various strategies and innovations that may go beyond the basic requirements, thus potentially earning additional points for outstanding efforts in sustainability practices.

By allowing for either 1 point or more than 1 point, the Pearl Rating System encourages a broader range of sustainable innovations, fostering creativity and higher performance standards in development projects. This adaptability is crucial for projects aiming to meet diverse sustainability objectives while promoting the use of environmentally conscious practices.
