| CHOOSING BETWEEN RATING SYSTEMS | CHOOSING BETWEEN RATING SYSTEMS |
| Step 1: | First, assign a rating system to each square foot or square meter of your building. |
| Step 2: | Calculate the percentage of your facility that meets each rating system. |
| Step 3: | Choose the most appropriate rating system based on the resulting percentages. |
| Rule 1: | Less than 40% of the gross foor area should not be used. |
| Rule 2: | Greater than 60% of the gross foor area should be used. |
| Rule 3: | Percentages between 40% and 60% of the gross foor area, then independently assess each situation and decide which rating system is most applicable. |
