FAQs about SSc4.3 :

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?

Can a project pursue this credit via a combination of Option 1 (preferred parking) and Option 2 (alternative fueling stations)?

How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?

For electric vehicle charging stations, how are the parameters established for fueling capacity?

I am working on a project with no parking spaces allocated. Can I earn this credit?

Our project is outside the U.S., and the LEED-approved ACEEE Green Score and CARB ratings and classifications don't apply to many vehicles. Is there another approach that is accepted?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

NC-2009 SSc4.3:Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

Double Parking

Our parking lot is composed by double parking spaces because of the reduced area. I would like to know if we can accomplish with the credit requirements, designating these spaces for users of low emitting or fuel efficient vehicles, even if they are blocking another car or are blocked.

Beatriz, I haven't encountered this situation before, but I would assume that a space that is blocked could not be considered "preferred" under the credit requirements.

Should i still consider designating those blocking another car?

Ideally I would not consider those "preferred" either, since a parking space that blocks another car carries practical restrictions. But if you don't have enough preferred spaces in your parking area that aren't either blocked or blocking, then you could try to submit this to GBCI and see if it's accepted. I couldn't say for sure.
