Per LEED Interpretation ID# 5370 (link: https://www.usgbc.org/content/li-5370/), a project with no onsite parking facilities, and that does not lease or own offsite parking facilities for use by the building’s occupants, may be eligible for one point under Option B of this credit.
The project team must provide evidence of this fact, including a detailed description of the method used to confirm it.
If offsite parking facilities ARE leased or owned by the project for use by the building’s occupants, the project can earn points by demonstrating that 75% of the spaces provided meet the requirements of the Heat Island Reduction Roof requirements.
Projects that provide covered parking are eligible for points under this credit, but what if a project provides no parking?
