FAQs about SSc4.3 :

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?

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?

Hi, I've just seen Lauren's question on april 2011, but no answer. So, "Would those spots be part of your total parking capacity?" Thanks

Loic, I can't say I have a definitive answer on the motorbike question, but I think it would likely be safer to not include motorbike spaces in the capacity, rather than including them. Since they are not considered LE/FE, and so you can't consider them as contributing to the credit, it seems fair not to count them against you, either. However, this is a guess on my part and I would invite more definitive input.One more thought—it might look different for a parking area with a large proportion of motorbike parking, vs. an area with a few spots. With a low proportion of parking, it seems more reasonable to overlook this, although it would also be potentially easier to include it in the overall count, and to use regular vehicle parking to meet the credit requirements.
