On an annual basis, verify that your system for collecting used batteries is clearly communicated to building occupants, janitorial staff, and waste haulers; that collection points are easily accessible; and that the collection procedure is well-documented to inform new tenants or occupants.
Develop a plan for diverting all dry-cell batteries in conjunction with MRp2: Solid Waste Management Policy. This includes all alkaline and rechargeable batteries, as well as used batteries for cell phones and PDAs.
Track all ongoing consumables purchases during the performance period, making sure to include purchases that do not meet the sustainability criteria. See the sample tracking sheet in the Documentation Toolkit.
In addition to providing 5% of the total parking capacity of the site for preferred parking for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles, schools must make provisions for a minimum of one designated carpool drop-off area for these vehicles. Make sure it’s conveniently located.
If designating parking spaces is not desirable, the credit can be achieved by providing a discounted parking rate of at least 20% for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles.
Alternatively, if the LEED boundary includes a multi-story garage that serves multiple buildings in addition to the LEED project, all the parking spaces within the LEED boundary must be included for calculations even if only a portion of the parking area is expected to be for the project building’s use.
Calculations should be based on any parking spaces within the LEED project boundary. If some of the parking associated with the building is onsite and some is off-site, confirm the appropriate approach with
Calculations should be based on the parking spaces associated with the building pursuing LEED certification plus any additional parking included in the LEED boundary. Options 1 and 2 relate to total parking spaces included onsite within the LEED boundary while Options 3 and 4 relate to vehicles for project occupants. If parking for the building is offsite, it must be included in credit calculations. If some of the parking is onsite and some offsite, confirm the appropriate approach to the situation with
