Hello, I have a doubt about the examplary performance of this credit.
In the project with I am working doesnt has a parking and I achieved the option 1, so at is says in the LEED guide:
"achieve both options 1 and 2. Locate 100% of parking undercover"
May I suppose that I got the examplary performance cause I dont have a parking?
Thank you for your time
Best regards

Hi Maria,
I don't believe you're eligible for pursuing Opt 2 if you don't have any parking at all, which would therefore make the project ineligible for the Exemplary Performance for this credit.

Hello,
Per LEED Interpretation 5370 (https://www.usgbc.org/leedaddenda/5370) a project building with no onsite parking facilities is eligible for 1 point under LEED v4 SSc Heat Island Reduction, provided that it doesn't rely on nearby offsite parking facilities. That means that the project may earn 2 points under SS Heat Island Reduction (opt.1 + opt.2). I can't figure out if pursuing opt.1 + opt.2 makes the project eligible for the exemplary performance for the credit tho. Can anybody help?

If a project does not have parking at all, including off-site parking, it is only eligible for 1 point under Opt 1.
