Others have asked this before and not gotten an answer so I'm taking another shot. Can someone please verify this approach? It seems like, for this credit, regardless of the area of guestrooms vs BOH and other, a basic hotel with a few meeting rooms needs to be classified as mixed use/mostly residential. Hotels guests count as residents, employees as FTEs and day visitors as transients. It seems like carpool space requirement should apply to FTEs only. The rest of the users, guests and day visitors, would need to be covered by a TDM program to encourage ride-sharing.

Susan, Since you project is a "Hotel", I believe you can apply LEED Interpretation - 2106 in your case; See following link for more details: http://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations?clearsmartf=true&keys=2106 All you have to do is provide 5% of preferred parking of the total employee parking capacity, Thanks

Susan, Have you gotten to the bottom of your situation? Was Kuntal's advice applicable to your project? I am working on a very standard and straightforward hotel construction project and I'm not really sure how to approach this credit form. I am not in the same circumstances as described in Interpretation #2106 so I am not sure if it is relevant or will apply.
