Dear All,
The innovation strategy 1 under Innovation: Parksmart Measures looks a good fit for our project, and I think generally for many projects.
However from the wording of the credit I'm not 100% sure of two things.
It says achieve "Full requirements of Parksmart Measure B11: Bicycle Parking, both Tier 1 and Tier 2 criteria"
You have to fulfill all the Tier 1 criteria anyway, but for Tier 2 the document says "parking structure must provide at least 3 of the following bicycle parking features:" and list 8 features.
I hope the "full requirements" in the LEED wording doesn't mean you have to achieve all the 8 Tier 2 features?
The other question mark for me is the MEASURE 4 Tire Inflation Stations.
As the previous measure was about bicycles I automatically thought this tire inflation station is pertaining to bicyclists only.
But the measure language is about automobile tires. Is the intention of the credit is for bicyclists regarding the tire inflation station, or it should be placed where vehicle users can use it too?

Hi Norbert,
I would think that meeting the "full requirements" for B11 would mean as they are written for Parksmart projects, which would mean employ 3 of the 8 options listed in Tier 2. These ID strategies have been known to require all instead of some, though, so you may want to ask LEED Coach to be sure. If you do this, please post an update of their response.
For the tire inflation, Parksmart intends it for automobile use, so it should be the same for the LEED project. It's a good idea to have it accessible to everyone, though. That said, one of the Tier 2 options is for a mechanic station for the bikes, so you could be covered in that regard from the first credit.

Hey,
We are interested in your feedback for the full requirements, did you succeed to validate this innovation credit with 3 of the options of Tier 2 ?
Thanks in advance
