Our project has no new parking. We are on a campus where there is an existing parking lot adjacent to our building, but not within our LEED project boundary. There are 420 parking spaces in this lot shared by other buildings on the campus. None of these other buildings is attempting LEED cert. This parking lot has 2 electric fuel stations. We have 41 peak employees on our project, so these 2 fuel stations would cover the 3% required for our employees. The owner tells us there are sufficient available spaces in this lot for our 41 employees. Would this meet the intent of Option 2 of SSc4.3? Would we need to provide signage reserving the fuel stations for employees of our building only? Thank you.

Signage would be required to reserve the fuel stations for employees of your building only, although you may need more than signage to ensure that those spaces are only used by your building's employees. I'm thinking of other projects that I've worked on where we've needed more than signage for bike racks - such as a locked enclosure. (We have never done that, but that appeared to be what was required.)

We have a similar situation but our campus existing parking lot is not adjacent to our building. Can we attempt SSc4.3 and SSc4.4?
