NC-2009 SSc4.3: Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles
We have provided Low-Emitting/Fuel Efficient parking spaces such that the calculation on the form comes to 4.94%. Obviously, 5% is required. In this case, have we met the requirement, because if the number is rounded off, we comply?
Does anyone know?

Do all hybrid vehicles automatically qualify for this credit?
How should the signage read for preferred parking spaces?
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?

In similar situations I have heard the advice, and passed it along, that LEED does not allow rounding up—so the credit requirement is not met in this situation. With something so close I have suggested a narrative or a CIR explaining why you think you meet the intent, but I haven't heard from anyone who has done this about how they fared. The safest bet is to change the design to overshoot 5%.Anyone else been in this situation—thoughts?

Well, instead of trying to justify why 4.9% should meet the requirement, we decided just to add one more reserved space. Thanks for your help Tristan.
