we are pursuing a university project under the Multiple Buildings and On-Campus Building Projects (2010 application), there are 5 residential housing buildings and one dining facility. We are also construction a parking garage that will be used by these buildings and shared with other buildings on campus. We cannot certify the garage because it does not meet MPR for FTEs, so we are not including it in our campus boundary. It is my understanding that we can still count the garage parking that will be used by our buildings to achieve this credit (undercover parking) as well as SSc4.3 & c4.4 because the MPR document states that "facilities (including parking) that are not within the LEED project boundary but are used to demonstrate compliance with a credit, as allowed per the rating system..."
please advise.
thanks.

Are you sure it's correct to not include the garage inside the campus boundary? That doesn't seem right to me. Also, see page 19 of the MPR supplemental guidance.I do with your interpretation of the issue you outline above, however, as long as you comply with the proviso about not double-counting the benefits between LEED projects.
