Estidama tool
Enter the points secured in each section and convert the RE-1 and PW-1 percentages into points. The dashboard returns the level reached and the gap to the next one.
Completion
How much of the position is established. It tracks your working file — the rating is awarded by the reviewing authority.

🧪 Example figures
Illustrative only — not typical values, not a recommendation. Replace with your own.
↳ 29% energy improvement earns 7 points, not 8 - the 30% step is not reached. The mandatory box opens unticked, so no level is reported despite a healthy total.
One Pearl is earned by meeting every mandatory credit. Each higher level reads "all mandatory credits PLUS N points" — so a project on 150 points with one mandatory credit outstanding reaches no level at all. Confirm the mandatory position before reading the total below as a rating.
The ladders are read downward — a value between two steps earns the lower step.
RE-1 Improved Energy Performance
RE-R1 requires a minimum 12% improvement first; RE-1 points are awarded on further reduction beyond it.
30% → 8 Points
PW-1 Improved Interior Water Use Reduction
PW-R1 requires consumption no greater than the baseline first; PW-1 points begin at 4%.
24% → 6 Points
The ladders are read downward: points are awarded on reaching the stated percentage, and a value between two steps earns the lower step — it is not rounded up.

| IP Innovating Practice · Bonus (Innovating Practice)Bonus credits — excluded from the 177 total. | 3 |
A total of 177 points, excluding Innovating Practice which is offered as bonus credits. The points available in a section determine its weighting, and vary by building use.

⚠ A mandatory credit is outstanding — no level is reached whatever the total.
One Pearl is earned by meeting every mandatory credit — points substitute for none of them. A single unmet mandatory credit means no level is reached, whatever the points total.
