Hello, I am studying for my LEED Green Associate exam, and I have found two conflicting terminologies regarding an area where yo can store vehicles in a building. Is the correct terminology "Undercover Parking" or "Covered Parking"?

Hi Bob,
USGBC offers a glossary, which can be found here: https://www.usgbc.org/glossary?utm_source=website&utm_medium=article&utm...
They define the following:
undercover parking:
vehicle storage that is underground, under deck, under roof, or under a building
They do not specifically define "covered parking", though. I have not seen any fuss around this terminology in my projects; I think it's safe to assume that they are synonomous.

Hello Bob,
I think that parking which is outside of the building and is shaded with for example with PV panels is called covered parking.

Thanks Emily. I later found the definition in that glossary after posting my questions.
