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?

Parking is not a prerequisite for Option 2?

The bird's eye view for this credit states that parking is not a prerequisite for Options 2 and 4. I understand why this is applicable to option 4 but, regarding Option 2, I don't seem to understand how this is possible being the requirement to "Install alternative-fuel fueling stations for 3% of the total vehicle parking capacity of the site". Once there is no parking how can one calculate how many fueling stations are required? provide Projects may also earn the credit by pursuing Option 2, providing alternative fueling stations onsite.

Good question. I agree with you that you cannot provide fueling stations for 3% of parking spaces when there are no parking spaces as part of your project. One option that is valid for the preferred parking signage option - and presumably valid for fueling stations too - is to provide them for any adjacent parking structures that will be serving your project. If the parking structure is shared with other buildings, then there either must be enough spaces to meet the 3% requirement for the whole garage or you can only provide enough to meet the 3% of your designated spaces as long as there is signage indicating they are for your building only.
