FAQs about SSc4.3 :

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?

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?

My project (a combo with lab/office/industiral workshop/conference in one large building) has one driveway that leads to two separate parking areas, one on either side of the main entrance. The smaller (40 spots) is for guests while the larger (120 spots) is for employees. If we go for option 1 or 2, can the designated spots/charging stations all be located in the larger lot but available to both employees and guests? Or do we need to provide the appropriate percentages in each lot? (For alternative two it would be 2 spaces in the guest lot and 4 spaces in the employee lot.) Thanks!

I think the safe bet is to provide the required percentage of spaces for each lot. Otherwise, it seems like guest parking and associated signage would get very confusing with guests having to decide which direction they are supposed to go based on what kind of car they are driving.

I was kinda guessing that too. Thanks for the input!
