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?

Do gas golf carts count as low-emitting/fuel efficient vehicles? If so, how is the ACEEE Green Score determined?

Do you mean gasoline powered or natural gas powered? I'm not sure if golf carts are held to the same emissions reporting standards as cars, which may make it difficult for them to qualify. The ACEEE Green Score method is described at http://www.greenercars.org/greenbook_method.htm You'd probably have to contact the cart manufacturer to find out if they can be certified.
