What is the minimum percentage of functional areas that must be green for an overall ARMS green rating?

• A. 60%
• B. 70%
• C. 80%
• D. 90%

Answer: (B)

ARMS uses a composite rating based on how many functional areas meet the green standard. To earn an overall green rating, at least seventy percent of the functional areas must be green. In a ten-area example, that means seven areas need to be green for the overall rating to be green; the remaining areas can be non-green (amber or red). If fewer than seventy percent are green, the overall ARMS result would not be green.
