The SITES v2 rating system is a 200-point system that includes 18 prerequisites and 48 credits for measuring site sustainability. SITES certification is based on a point system: the number of points that a project earns determines the certification level it receives (Certified, Silver, Gold or Platinum). The 18 prerequisites within the rating system are required in order to achieve certification, plus the minimum number of credits to achieve the desired certification level.
