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?

NC-2009 SSc4.3:Alternative Transportation—Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles

Low-Emitting Signage Wording Requirements

I am working on a project that reserved 10 parking spots for "fuel-efficient" vehicles, this is noted by spray-painted signage on each parking stall. Half of these stalls have the following verbiage: "Reserved for Fuel-Efficient Clean Air Vehicles". The other half of these stalls have the following verbiage: Reserved for Fuel-Efficient Hybrid Vehicles". We received a preliminary review comment that the stalls with "Hybrid" verbiage do not meet signage requirements. Isn't the inclusion of the term "fuel-efficient" sufficient to meet the intent of this requirement? All stalls are in preferred locations.

I think the reviewers (and the credit intent) want ALL the parking spaces reserved for fuel-efficient vehicles. The 5 spaces you are reserving ONLY for hybrid cars prevents electric and other fuel-efficient vehicles from using them.
