Can a project pursue LTpc70 as an Innovation in Design Credit if SSc4.3 has been awarded? In addition to the dedicated LEFE vehicle parking, the project also includes a CNG fueling station and electrical connections at more than 50% of the dock doors.

Thanks for your question, Kenner. Yes, this is an acceptable approach since the two credits differ in their requirements. Feedback on your project’s implementation of these differences is helpful for USGBC staff. If the LEED project self-identifies as a warehouse or distribution center, Option 2. Reduced Truck Idling in PC70 can indeed be pursued in addition to Option 2 of SSc4.3 in LEED 2009 for the CNG station (or any other SSc4.3 option for that matter, provided requirements are met). However, note that non-warehouse space types must pursue standard requirements for preferred parking and alternative fuel stations (for instance, a restaurant with a loading dock door is ineligible).
