I realize campus questions have been asked a number of times, but let me give it another (specific) go. We have a new building on an existing campus. There will be no new parking added for this building - all staff and students will use existing lots. It is infeasible for this project to address parking on a whole campus level - as such I'd like to focus on the Reference Guide language: "Projects that do not provide new parking must meet the credit requirements for existing parking" and "If there is existing parking that will continued to be used by the project, it must also comply with credit requirements". In past projects (v2009) we were allowed to designate part of a shared parking lot to a specific project. We'd like to do the same thing here - demonstrate that a portion of the existing parking will serve this new building, and then demonstrate that this portion of the parking complies with credit requirements. In other words, if we have a lot with 100 spaces that serves three adjacent buildings, demonstrate that 20 of those spaces serve Building 1, 50 serve Building 2, and 30 serve Building 3. Then (for example) for Building 2, provide three carpools spaces with the language "Carpool spaces reserved for Building 2" or something along those lines. Thoughts?

Hey John! Classic question :) This is still an option under v4. Alternatively, reserve preferred carpool spaces for 5 spaces of the total 100 in that lot, even if only 50 apply to the LEED project - that leaves you with more spaces to reserve, but simplifies the signage / enforcement wording.
