FAQs about SSc4.3 :

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?

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?

Are the EPA SmartWay Elite requirements more or less stringent than the ACEEE Green Score requirements

I don't know. I hadn't heard of this program. I am skeptical of how it averages two scores to set its ratings.

Tristan, different scenario this time but same question. Higher Ed Institution offers a discounted parking pass for "hybrid" vehicles. Can you provide input on how a "hybrid" based qualification compares to the ACEEE Green Score qualifications?

Does anyone have any experience submitting EPA Smartway Vehicles to fulfill the intent of SSc4.3, ILO ACEEE 40+?
