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 Pamela, my experience has been that if you do not provide parking you can meet SSc4.4. Regarding SSc4.3, have you reviewed the requirements for the vehicle sharing compliance path? There are several and I'd recommend that you will want to make compliance with each clear. I'd also encourage you to review related LEED interpretations to see if there are additional information that might be useful for your specific case.

Yes we would like to use Option 4 - -Provide One low-emitting or fuel-efficient vehicle must be provided per 3% of FTE occupants -A vehicle-sharing contract must be provided that has an agreement of at least two years. (Via Zip-Car) -Parking for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles must be located in the nearby parking lot. Questions are can this be earned via Zip-Car Contract and having the zip-car at a nearby parking lot. Since we are earning SSc4.4 No Parking Onsite.

Pamela, if you read above you can see this is an acceptable compliance path. "Some projects have earned this credit with a regional car-sharing program that locates a publicly accessible car share vehicle adjacent to the project site."
