Hi,
Does anyone have more information about the scope of this pilot credit, especially the "On-road vehicule" definition ? The LEED pilot credit states "95% of all diesel engine contractor / subcontractor used for the construction project". For instance, would this include a delivery truck (concrete, other material, etc...) that has been ordered by the GC or subcontractor but not owned by one of them ? It's not clear to us.
Thanks !

Good question, have you tried registering for the pilot and then asking USGBC directly? They should be willing to help clarify the requirements so you can attempt the pilot and provide them with useful feedback. Let us know if you get any info!

Our project tracked all of onroad vehicles with diesel engines owned or leased by GC and Subcontractors in addition to delivery vehicles. We found that many of the vehicles had gasoline engines that didn't need to be tracked. Making Subcontractors aware of the Clean Construction goals with the Particulate Matter Emissions Reduction Plan well in advance can make a difference in the success of this credit. We were able to meet the 95% requirement for onroad and non-road diesel engines. I'll update when the credit is awarded.
