How can we calculate the SRI of our existing hardscape materials?

Many of our building occupants use parking that’s outside the LEED project boundary and is not owned or maintained by building management or tenants (for example, city-owned street parking or a parking garage owned by another property manager). Do we in

In our project, some of the parking spaces are specific to motorcycles, with smaller areas than in car's spaces. The online form asks only for the number of covered spaces, but does not specify whether these are for cars or other vehicles. Does motorcycle's parking spaces count as much as car's for this credit?

Rosana, parking spaces for motorcycles are a gray area in LEED for which there is not specific guidance, that I am aware of. I don't think the writers of the credit language were thinking of motorcycles. However, you could arguably count the spaces as much as cars, or perhaps it might be fair to count them at half value. I think I would consider it based on area.
