FAQs about SSc4.4 :

If a non-residential project wants to use Option 4, which references the ITE Parking Generation Study, where does one upload and submit required documentation? There is no Option 4 choice in the credit form.

How do you designate preferred parking if the parking facility is not under the owner's control?

How does one apply minimum zoning requirements to a project when it is part of a larger complex or campus?

Are there standards regarding how to document the spaces that will be dedicated as reserved?

How does a carpool/vanpool relate to a shared car service/company when it comes to the preferred parking requirements of this credit?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

How does one account for off-site parking. Should the LEED boundary encompass this parking? Or alternatively may the project pursue the "no new parking" option?

If a project does not provide parking onsite but provides a shuttle service to new parking offsite, is that considered “no new parking” since the new parking is not onsite?

Does rebuilding an existing parking area with fewer spaces mean “no new parking”?

When using Option 4 (2003 ITE study), we should provide 25% fewer parking spaces than which rate indicated in ITE study: minimum, maximum or average? We are working on a shopping center new project that is being built in a city in Brazil that has no minimum local zoning requirements. We understand that the most reasonable approach is to consider the maximum rate for weekdays, which are the highest one (6.17 per 1000 sqft).

I believe you use 25% fewer spaces than the “Average Peak Period Parking Demand. ” See Emily's great summary over at http://www.leeduser.com/topic/money-guesswork-ite-parking-generation-study-2003-SSc4.4-LEED-NC-certification
